Atlanta / MARTA & city vehicles
MARTA, city trucks and public vehicles
Claims against public agencies follow different rules, and the clock can be much shorter.
Why it’s different
Public agencies often have special legal protections and notice requirements. For example, claims involving a city in Georgia generally require written notice within six months.
| Vehicle | What to know |
|---|---|
| MARTA bus or train | MARTA is a public transit authority with its own rules; notice requirements may apply |
| City of Atlanta vehicle | City notice deadline generally 6 months |
| Fulton or DeKalb County vehicle | County notice deadline generally 12 months |
| State vehicle | State notice deadline generally 12 months |
Passengers
If you were hurt as a passenger on a bus or train, from a sudden stop, a collision, or a fall while boarding, you may have a claim.
Don’t wait. If a public vehicle was involved, call this week. Missing a notice deadline can end a claim.
