The statute of limitations is what determines the amount of time a victim has to file a claim or lawsuit. These deadlines vary depending on the type of incident and also by state.
Two years from the date of the crash is typically how long you have to file a truck accident lawsuit. This applies to both filing a personal injury claim and filing a lawsuit under Ga. Code § 9-3-33.
If you do not file a claim or lawsuit within two years of your truck accident in Georgia, you will usually not be able to pursue action for that accident. There’s also a lot of work that needs to happen between the date of your accident and the actual filing of your lawsuit, so it’s best to start working on building your case immediately.
