You Generally Have Two Years to File Your Injury Lawsuit in GA
Bader Law Injury Lawyers resolves many personal injury cases through out-of-court settlements. This involves gathering evidence, citing the liable insurance policy, and asserting negligence. However, if an insurance settlement isn’t feasible, our trial-ready lawyers will advocate for you in court.
Here’s what you need to know about litigation:
- You generally have two years to file your truck accident lawsuit, per O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33.
- Some exceptions could shorten this deadline–like if you were hurt by a government-owned vehicle.
- You must file your lawsuit within the applicable period or lose the right to seek damages.
Our team will manage your case and all of its deadlines during our partnership.

What Should a Truck Accident Settlement Include?
Depending on your specific injuries, you could qualify for some or all of the damages listed below, as well as others not listed here:
Medical Bills and Expenses
Perhaps your greatest concern following a truck accident is how you will afford the treatments you need to recover, such as:
- Ambulance rides
- Diagnostic tests
- Surgery
- Hospital stays
- Assistive devices (e.g., a cane or crutches)
- Medications
- Therapy for physical or psychological harm
- Accessibility modifications to your home or vehicle
- In-home nursing services
You can seek compensation for all medical expenses stemming from the accident. The liable party should pay for your treatment-related costs–not you.
Lost Income
Depending on how bad your injury was and what type of job you have, you may not be able to work following the accident. This could cost you and your family money in various ways. For instance, you could:
- Be forced to take time off, causing you to lose expected income
- Be unable to return to your previous position, requiring you to retire early or take a lesser-paying job
- Make you ineligible for promotions, bonuses, and other job-related benefits
Our firm can determine how much you have already lost by looking at your paystubs and employment records. We can also estimate how much you would have earned in the future if not for the accident.
Non-Economic Damages
“Non-economic damages” is the legal term for physical or emotional suffering caused by negligence. These losses can comprise:
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional trauma
- The inability to live independently or perform everyday tasks
- The inability to engage in hobbies or other activities
- Temporary and permanent disabilities
- Disfiguring marks or scars
- Loss of consortium
Such damages do not come with a convenient bill or dollar amount to dictate their monetary “worth.” Fortunately, there are ways for us to “convert” such physical and emotional injuries into a dollar amount that the liable party should pay. We have done this for other clients, and we will do it for you.
