What Is the Statute of Limitations for a Pedestrian Crash in Smyrna, GA?

People injured in a pedestrian crash in Smyrna, GA, generally have two years to file a personal injury lawsuit under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. Georgia law generally requires actions for injuries to the person to be brought within two years after the right of action accrues.

This deadline can apply to claims involving medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other losses connected to a pedestrian accident. Waiting beyond the applicable deadline can prevent an injured pedestrian from pursuing a lawsuit, although specific circumstances may affect when the limitation period begins or whether an exception applies.

After a Smyrna pedestrian accident, injured people should preserve crash reports, medical records, photographs, insurance information, witness statements, and available video footage. Evidence showing traffic signals, crosswalk conditions, vehicle positions, lighting, and other circumstances surrounding the crash may also help document the claim.

Understanding Georgia's personal injury statute of limitations early can help ensure that a potential pedestrian accident claim is evaluated before the two-year deadline expires. Because exceptions and special rules may apply, the specific circumstances should be reviewed before assuming the filing deadline. Acting promptly can also help preserve evidence and important information that may become harder to obtain over time.
