Statute of limitations
It is important to bring a lawsuit regarding personal injury before the statute of limitations in your state ends. These deadlines apply to many different types of personal injury cases including car accidents medical malpractice claims product liability claims and wrongful deaths claims.
In most states, "the clock" of the statute of limitations starts to tick the day after you've been injured. There are exceptions to this rule, which can effectively stop it in certain circumstances.
