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 knew or should have known about the causal connection between the game's design and the child's injuries. 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.
