Griffin is the county seat of Spalding County and the commercial hub of the area between Atlanta and Macon on US-19/41. The convergence of US-19, US-41, GA-16, and the railroad corridors creates challenging driving conditions in Griffin’s downtown and commercial districts. If you were hurt in a Griffin accident, Georgia law gives you real remedies — but the two-year statute applies from the moment of impact.
