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

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Georgia? A statute of limitations is a law that creates a strict time limit on an injured person's right to file a lawsuit in civil court. When an injured person misses the statute of limitations, the defendant can use the statute of limitations as a defense against the suit. Rare exceptions do apply to extend the filing deadlines. Every case is different and every state has its own statute of limitations. It is important to contact an attorney in the jurisdiction in question for legal advice as to the statute of limitations in your state.

I had a terrible car accident earlier this year and I was payed out within a couple of months. It was a pleasure working with Tamara. Merck Law is very professional and I am very impressed with the service they provided for me. I would definitely recommend working with Merck Law!

I highly recommend Attorney Merk Smith. He offered realistic, straightforward guidance while still being incredibly compassionate. He answered all of my questions clearly and helped me feel calm and confident before my court appearance. I’m grateful for his time and expertise!

Danielle DeVine Fowler

Merck Law was amazing to work with after my car accident near Atlanta. Austin and his team took the time to explain everything, handled the insurance company for me, and made the whole process so much less stressful. I always felt informed and supported. If you need a personal injury lawyer in Atlanta area, I can’t recommend Merck Law enough!

Fiona Wallace

I am very grateful to Austin and Tamara for their work on my case. They made sure I received proper medical care and treatment and ensured that I received a fair settlement. Tamara was very good at providing me with updates and answering any questions or concerns that I had. It took a huge weight off of me to know that I had good people fighting for me when I was unable to. I pray I don't need them again but if I do I will be back. Thank you so much Tamara and Austin!!

Mr. Smith was so helpful! I’m attempting to represent myself in a case and he took his time to explain everything I needed. He also walked me through every step and also proof read my documents. I’m forever grateful for his kindness and patience because I ask a lot of questions!

Several years ago, Merck helped my mother adjust her will. It was done efficiently and professionally. I highly recommend Merck and his son Austin.

Merck was great! I was in a motorcycle accident and needed some advice. He was very quick to respond, thoughtful and realistic with expectations.
