Statute of Limitations
Georgia: 2 years for personal injury (Ga. Code Ann. § 9-3-33). Discovery rule applies — limitations begin when the plaintiff discovers or should have discovered the injury and its connection to gabapentin. Georgia also has a 10-year statute of repose for product liability (§ 51-1-11(b)).

Where to File in Georgia
Georgia gabapentin cases may be filed in the Northern District (Atlanta), Middle District (Macon), or Southern District (Savannah). Fulton County Superior Court in Atlanta handles complex pharmaceutical litigation. Georgia follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar. The state caps non-economic damages in medical malpractice but not in product liability cases. Georgia's 10-year statute of repose may affect claims for long-duration gabapentin exposure.
