How long does a personal injury case take in Georgia?
Most Georgia injury cases settle in 6–18 months. Cases that go to trial average 2–3 years. Timeline depends on how long you treat, insurance complexity, and whether litigation is filed.
A typical timeline: (1) medical treatment until maximum medical improvement — 3 to 12 months; (2) demand package preparation — 30–60 days; (3) insurance negotiation — 60–120 days; (4) lawsuit filing if no fair offer; (5) discovery and mediation — 12–18 months; (6) trial. Settling too early leaves money on the table. Settling too late risks the two-year SOL. Track your case in real time through our client portal.
