Can I sue the City of Atlanta or GDOT for a dangerous intersection?

Yes, under certain circumstances. Georgia has waived sovereign immunity for certain tort claims under the Georgia Tort Claims Act, O.C.G.A. § 50-21-20 et seq. Claims against GDOT require strict compliance with ante litem notice requirements under O.C.G.A. § 50-21-26. Municipal claims (City of Atlanta, DeKalb County, etc.) require ante litem notice under O.C.G.A. § 36-33-5 within six months of the incident. These deadlines are strict and missing them can bar your claim. Contact us immediately if you believe a government entity is responsible.
