Georgia Statute of Limitations in Accident Cases

Under O.C.G.A. Section 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for personal injuries are two years from the date of injury in the state of Georgia.

Under O.C.G.A. Section 9-3-33, the statute of limitations for a loss of consortium action is four years.

UPDATE:

If the other driver in an accident case is given a ticket, the statute of limitations is different.  The time period is extended by the number of days until the resolution of the ticket, such as paying the fine.  Therefore, in similar situations, you would have two years plus the number of days it took to pay the ticket.

Do note.  It is very important to file timely.  If you are getting close to the statue of limitations, you must contact an attorney immediately.  This rule is hard and firm.  Once you pass that particular day, it is over with extremely few exceptions.
