What is Georgia’s statute of limitations for a child’s personal injury claim?

Under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33, the general two-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Georgia applies. However, for minors, the statute of limitations is typically tolled (paused) until the child turns 18, giving them until their 20th birthday to file in their own name. Parents bringing claims on a child’s behalf should still act promptly to preserve evidence and legal rights.
