Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia

Re: Battery

A battery committed against an individual will support both criminal and civil charges. Your question indicates you want to file a claim and also indicates you wish to obtain a warrant.

A civil claim must be made within two years of the event or it is barred in the State of Georgia by the Statute of limitations. How such a case is proved is best addressed after a full development of the facts surrounding the event. Witnesses, if there are any, would be a useful first area of investigation.

You should contact the law enforcement officials in your local area, or the area in which the battery occured if different from your residence. They will interview you to determine if there is probable cause to pursue criminal charges and a warrant.

If you would like a no obligation assessment of you potential claim, please contact my office.
