01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Georgia?
2-year statute of limitations for personal injury with discovery rule. Georgia Fair Business Practices Act claims may provide additional causes of action. The discovery rule starts when the plaintiff discovered or should have discovered the causal connection. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Georgia’s significant peanut, cotton, and pecan agriculture involves historical paraquat use, particularly in the southern and central regions of the state. With a 2-year personal injury SOL and discovery rule, Georgia plaintiffs have a clear but time-limited filing window. Georgia’s Fair Business Practices Act provides additional consumer protection causes of action. The state’s agricultural workforce includes a substantial Latino farmworker population.
Georgia paraquat cases can be filed in the superior court of the county where the plaintiff resides or where exposure occurred. Fulton County (Atlanta), Bibb County (Macon), and agricultural counties in southern Georgia (Colquitt, Tift, Dougherty) are relevant venues. Federal claims are coordinated through MDL 3004 in S.D. Illinois.
