How long do I have to file a claim after a car accident?

Pursuant to Ga. Code §40-6-273, “(t)he driver of a vehicle involved in an accident resulting in injury or death of any person or property damage to an apparent extent of $500.00 or more shall immediately, by the quickest means of communication, give notice of such accident.” However, there is no statutory requirement for when a person in a car accident has to file a claim with the insurance company. Therefore, there are other factors which must be considered when deciphering the time you have to file a claim after a car accident.

If your claim is being filed with your own insurance company, it is best to look at your insurance policy and see what it says your timeframe is for filing a claim. If it does not specify, it is a good idea to speak with our Dalton injury and car accident attorneys who are experienced in this area to find out what they advise.

If your claim is being filed with the insurance company of the other driver, you have no contractual obligation with them. Still, it’s best to file a claim as soon as you can after the accident occurs.
