Statute of Limitations FAQ

• What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim? The statute of limitations varies by state and type of claim but typically ranges from two to three years from the date of the accident.
• Are there exceptions to the statute of limitations? Yes, exceptions can include delayed discovery of the injury, the victim being a minor, or the defendant leaving the state, which can extend the filing deadline.
• What should I do if I think I still have a case? Gather all relevant documentation, such as medical records and accident reports, and consult with an experienced attorney to evaluate your situation.
• Why is it important to act quickly? Acting quickly helps ensure that evidence is preserved and witnesses are available, making it easier to build a strong case even if the statute of limitations has not expired.
