Georgia Personal Injury Statute of Limitations: 2026 Window, Ante-Litem Notice, and Common Pitfalls

Georgia's general personal-injury statute of limitations is two years under OCGA 9-3-33. The traps: a six-month ante-litem notice to Georgia municipalities, a 12-month ante-litem to the State and to counties, a five-year medmal statute of repose under OCGA 9-3-71, the Rule 9.1 expert affidavit, and a modified 50% comparative-fault bar (not 51%).
