What is the statute of limitations for car accidents in Georgia?

Georgia’s statute of limitations for car accident injury claims is two years from the date of the crash under O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33. For property damage only (no bodily injury), the deadline extends to four years.

If the at-fault driver was a government employee acting within the scope of their duties — for example, a city bus driver or a county vehicle — ante litem notice requirements apply and the window to act is much shorter. Always consult an attorney before assuming a standard two-year timeline applies to your case.
