After the accident
You are sore, your car is somewhere you did not put it, and an adjuster has already left a voicemail. They sound friendly. They want a quick recorded statement and a signature, and they would like it done today. Meanwhile you are wondering how you will pay for a scan and whether you can work on Monday. None of that is your fault.

Free case reviewDeadlines in Clarke County
Most Georgia injury claims must be filed within two years. But when a city, county, or state agency is responsible, you must send a formal written notice called an ante litem notice long before that, in some cases within six months. Send it late and you can lose the right to recover, however badly you were hurt.

You do not need to know whether you have a case. You do not need paperwork or a decision. You just need to talk to someone before the insurance company gets a signature out of you. It costs you nothing either way.
