How long do I have to pursue a lawsuit following an accident involving a bus?
The statute of limitations for most personal injury cases in Georgia is two years. However, the time frame can be much shorter or longer, depending on a number of circumstances. For example, if a public entitly is involved, or contributed to your injuries because a public bus or hazardous roadway were involved, the time limit to bring a claim is much shorter. Failure to file a claim within the statute of limitations will result in the loss of your rights. There is a lot of complexity and nuances as to how this time limit is applied. It is important to seek legal advice from an experienced Georgia bus accident attorney as soon as possible if you are involved in a busing accident.
