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 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!!

They can advise you of the trial process. Then they can file a lawsuit on your behalf. During a court trial, the lawyer will present your case to a judge or jury. Then the judge or jury will determine if you are entitled to recover and how much you are entitled to recover.
