Can I sue a Georgia school district, city, or county government for wrongful death?

Yes, but with important restrictions. Governmental immunity — including official immunity under
O.C.G.A. § 36-92-2 — may limit or bar claims against government entities. Claims against cities and counties must be preceded by written ante litem notice under
O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5, typically within six (6) months of the incident. Claims against state agencies require ante litem notice within twelve (12) months under
O.C.G.A. § 50-21-26. Failure to provide timely ante litem notice is almost always fatal to a government claim. HBLG has experience navigating these complex government liability cases.
