Are there special rules for suing a Georgia government entity after an injury?

Yes — and they are strict. Before suing a Georgia state agency, you must file an ante litem notice under O.C.G.A. § 50-21-26 within 12 months of the date of injury. For counties and municipalities, different ante litem deadlines and procedures apply under O.C.G.A. § 36-11-1 (county) and O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5 (municipality). Missing these pre-suit notice deadlines can bar your entire claim. This is another reason why AI is so dangerous — it may tell you these deadlines do not exist, or give you the wrong deadline.
