Answers from this attorney
- What should I do after a hit-and-run in Georgia?Report it to police immediately, canvass for cameras within days, and notify your own carrier: your uninsured motorist coverage is almost always the path to recovery when the other driver flees.
- How long do I have to file a claim in Georgia?Two years for injury and wrongful death, four for property damage, but ante litem notice against a city can be due in six months. The practical deadline is much sooner than the legal one because evidence disappears.
