Lawyers call that deadline the \"statute of limitations.\" It refers to the deadline by which a plaintiff's claim must be filed with the court. \n\nUnder Georgia law, there are different statutes of limitation (i.e., different deadlines) for different kinds of cases. The general statute of limitations for personal injuries is two years from the date of the injury. In this video, we discuss that rule and an important exception. \n\nThis rule applies in most types of cases that we handle. It applies in personal injury cases and in wrongful death cases. It applies in tractor-trailer accidents, car accidents, pedestrian accidents, motorcycle accidents, and bicycle accidents. It applies in shooting cases, sexual assault cases, and product liability cases. \n\nFor more about who we are and what we do, visit https:\/\/butlerfirm.com\/\n\n\u2757DISCLAIMER\u2757\n\nWe are not your lawyer.

But if you don't have health insurance, it can be hard to figure out where the money is going to come from.\n\nThe first point is that if you're in urgent need of medical treatment, you should go to the emergency room immediately.  Get the treatment you need without worrying about the money just yet.  Hospitals can't turn you away for urgently-needed treatment under Georgia law.\n\nSecond, if you have access to governmental (like Medicare, Medicaid, or TriCare) or private (like Aetna, BCBS, or Humana) health insurance, it's normally best to use it.  But if you don't have health insurance or the hospital won't take your insurance since you've been in a car accident, that isn't an option.\n\nIf you need medical treatment but there's no other way to pay for it, a third option involves deferred payment to a medical provider.  Some doctors or clinics will allow you to defer payment, meaning that they'll give you the medical treatment that you need and let you pay for that treatment later, possibly when your personal injury case is over.\n\nA final option includes private companies that act as ad-hoc, limited-purpose insurance companies.  There are some companies who will advance the money that you need to get medical treatment at a variety of different doctors, and then allow you to reimburse them once your car accident case is over.\n\nFor more about car accidents, visit https:\/\/butlerfirm.com\/georgia-car-accident-lawyers\/","thumbnailUrl":["https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/yPCzq_g1PQY\/default.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/yPCzq_g1PQY\/mqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/yPCzq_g1PQY\/hqdefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/yPCzq_g1PQY\/sddefault.jpg","https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/yPCzq_g1PQY\/maxresdefault.jpg"],"uploadDate":"2020-07-17T21:12:17+00:00","duration":"PT1M30S","embedUrl":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/yPCzq_g1PQY","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCeMYGr94Sf4LpYwIcO3P2Qw#Organization","url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCeMYGr94Sf4LpYwIcO3P2Qw","name":"Butler Kahn","description":"We help people and families.\n\nOur firm specializes in personal injury and wrongful death cases.
