How long do I have to file a nursing home abuse lawsuit in Georgia?
Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, Georgia’s general personal injury statute of limitations is two years from the date of injury or discovery. Wrongful death claims arising from nursing home negligence generally must be filed within two years of the resident’s death. Certain circumstances — such as legal incompetence — can toll or extend this deadline, but you should never assume you have more time than the basic two-year period. Contact (844) 428-4529 immediately.
