Limitation of Action

All legal claim have a time limit to have a suit filed and have the Defendant served.

In Georgia, for most negligence actions, an adult has two (2) years to make a claim.

In Medical Malpractice, if the injury occurred at birth, the parents have two (2) years, and the child’s claim continues for five (5) years.

It is advisable to have suit filed in order to collect for the parent’s claim which includes medical expenses up to the age of 18.

If surgery was involved in a malpractice, suit should be filed within two (2) years of the incident.

There is no advantage to waiting, and you should seek professional assistance. Witnesses tend to forget and cannot be located, so an early statement from a witness can be crucial to your case.

If suit can be filed within the first year of the incident, it will be settled that much sooner and resolved. Time is money and the money should be yours. Seek help from a professional.
