After a car crash, life can feel overwhelming. Between doctor visits, car repairs, and endless calls with insurance companies, it’s easy to lose track of time. But waiting too long to take legal action could cost you your right to seek compensation.

At Morain & Buckelew, LLC, we help people across Atlanta protect their rights and avoid missing important deadlines that could shut the door on their claim.

Georgia’s Deadlines You Need to Know

In Georgia, there are strict time limits for filing claims. Missing these deadlines often means you’ll lose the chance to seek compensation, no matter how serious your injuries are:

• Injury claims: 2 years from the date of the accident.
• Property damage claims: 4 years from the accident date.
• Government vehicles: Only 6 months (city/county) or 1 year (state).
• Federal vehicles: Usually 2 years under a separate process.
• Minors: The clock often doesn’t start until they turn 18.
• Insurance notifications: Most policies require you to report an accident within 24 hours.

Why Legal Guidance Makes a Different

After an accident, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by questions and uncertainty. Having a trusted legal team on your side can give you the clarity and direction you need. We take the time to understand your situation and guide you every step of the way. From dealing with insurance companies to meeting critical deadlines, we’re here to protect your rights and help you focus on what matters most—your recovery.

Why Acting Quickly Matters

Taking prompt action gives you the best chance to build a strong case. Evidence like dashcam footage and witness memories can disappear fast. Seeing a doctor right away protects your health and creates records that support your claim. Acting early also gives you more leverage with insurance companies and keeps your legal options open.
