I missed the 6-month ante litem deadline for the city. Is my case over?

In most circumstances, yes — Georgia courts treat ante litem compliance as jurisdictional, and late or defective notices are dismissed without the option to refile. However, there are limited tolling provisions, and some cases turn on exactly when the injury “accrued.” Contact an attorney immediately if you believe you may have missed this deadline. Do not assume the case is lost without speaking to counsel.
