The general two-year statute of limitations under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33 applies to wrongful death cases arising from truck accidents. However, time is even more critical in truck accident cases because critical evidence — electronic logging device (ELD) data, black box (ECM) data, driver qualification files, maintenance records, and dashcam footage — is routinely overwritten or destroyed. Federal FMCSA regulations may require carriers to preserve certain records, but spoliation of evidence is a real risk. HBLG sends immediate litigation holds and preservation demands the day we are retained. Do not wait.
