Each state has a statute of limitations that limits the amount of time that injury victims have to pursue compensation for their injuries. In Georgia, for adults, the statute of limitations is typically two years. In cases involving children, however, this timeline may shift to two years after the child turns 18. Though could give you over a decade to start your claim, it is best to file as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more likely evidence is to disappear, likely preventing you from recovering any compensation.
Furthermore, you will have to pay for immediate medical expenses and other losses out of pocket if you choose to delay your claim.
You could be eligible to seek compensation for your child’s medical expenses, as well as any further treatment they may need in the future. You could also recover for pain, suffering, and mental anguish. In some cases, victims may receive punitive damages if the day care facility was found to be grossly negligent.
