Legal Question in Personal Injury in Georgia
I was injured in a local business while shopping through no fault of my own. I have since contacted the manager of the business, and an incident report was done. I am still in pain, and don't know if this injury will cause me any further problems. What are my rights? Should I file a lawsuit to make sure my current treatment and any furture treatment needed for this injury are covered by the local business. Are there any statue of limitations that apply in this situation in regard to me claiming damages. If so,what are they?

No one can credibly tell you whether you should file a lawsuit because you don't provide a single fact about the accident or what caused it ("through no fault of my own" says nothing).
First of all, everything you have done to date is wrong. NEVER make a report to the other side without counsel. If you have a case, that can greatly diminish its value.
Whether you have a claim depends on details you did not give, but see a lawyer immediately. Generally, you do not file a case until after treatment unless the statute of limitations is about to run. And unless the damages are tiny, you would usually not file a suit pro se. Seeing a lawyer very early in the process to evaluate a case is vital.
