Is a notice of claim needed for MARTA?
The MARTA Act makes MARTA, an authority, liable like a private company, while the six-month notice rule in Georgia is written for cities. Georgia's 2 years to sue is the deadline that matters. Sending MARTA a written claim within 6 months is still something some lawyers do, and the habit costs nothing.
That time limit is set by O.C.G.A. § 9-3-33.
Filing a claim with MARTA
Injury claims go through MARTA's Risk Management office. The date stays on record when a written claim goes out early using a method you can prove. Official page.
