How long do I have to file a bad faith insurance claim in Georgia?

Georgia’s statute of limitations for a first-party bad faith insurance claim under O.C.G.A. § 33-4-6 is generally six years for claims arising out of written contracts (the insurance policy). However, the underlying personal injury or wrongful death claim has its own deadline — typically two years from the date of injury or death under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. There are also critical procedural deadlines: the 60-day statutory demand letter must be sent before filing a bad faith lawsuit. Do not wait — contact our firm immediately to protect your rights.
