How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia after a car accident?

The statute of limitations is typically two years in Georgia for personal injury claims, but there are shorter exceptions. I would recommend that you consult with an experienced accident lawyer who is licensed in Georgia ASAP. There are so many things that can go wrong in an accident claim without the advice of counsel. Most car accident lawyers offer free consultations where you can ask questions, and let the attorney gather information about your accident and injuries so that he or she can best guide you. And until you consult with a lawyer, I would suggest that you stop speaking with the insurance adjuster and do not give a recorded statement. In my experience, these statements are not for your benefit, they are for the benefit of the insurance carrier.

If you’ve been in a recent car accident, don’t wait to file a claim. Contact counsel immediately to maximize your settlement. An attorney can coordinate your medical treatment so your injuries— even soft‑tissue injuries—are properly documented. In Georgia, every driver is required to carry at least $25,000 in liability coverage. A competent lawyer should be able to recover most or all of that if your treatment is consistent and supported by chiropractic records.
