What is the statute of limitations for a personal injury claim in Georgia?

Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, most personal injury claims in Georgia — including car, truck, motorcycle, and slip-and-fall cases — must be filed within two years of the date of injury. A few narrow exceptions exist: claims against a city require an ante litem notice within 6 months, claims against the state within 12 months, and minors generally have until two years after their 18th birthday. Waiting also destroys evidence: skid marks fade, surveillance footage overwrites in 30–90 days, and witness memories blur. File early — call (800) 819-7909 for a free consultation.
