In an effort to get ahead of their opponent, a football team may toss aside their chance to make that extra point after scoring a touchdown and, instead, go for two in hopes of crossing that goal line. This can work to their advantage and, as a result, gain a two point advantage over their competition.
Going for two also applies to personal injury cases. It is important to note that any lawsuit arising from an automobile accident must be filed within two years of the accident. For example: if an accident occurs on April 3, 2026, a lawsuit must be filed on or before April 3, 2028. This two-year time period is known in Georgia as the “Statute of Limitations.” After that two year period expires, you forfeit your right to file a lawsuit.
This is why it is important to consult with a personal injury lawyer as soon as you can following a vehicle accident. In that way, proper paperwork, medical claims, accident claims, and other essential communication can take place well prior to the two-year time limit.
