Deadlines in Alabama & Georgia
- Alabama: Typical two-year statute of limitations; some city/county matters require notice in about six months. Alabama uses contributory negligence, which can bar recovery if you are found at fault.
- Georgia: Typical two-year statute; some city/county claims require early ante-litem notice. Georgia follows modified comparative fault—recovery generally allowed if you are under 50% at fault, reduced by your share.
Many claims must be filed within two years; some notices are shorter—call to confirm your exact deadline.
