Personal Injury
Statute of Limitations
Statute of limitations or the time period for filing a lawsuit can be difficult to calculate for a layperson. The time period of filing a lawsuit can vary if the injured person or at-fault party is deceased, fraud is involved, a foreign object is left in your body by a doctor or in certain other limited circumstances.
Generally, personal injury claims must be brought within two (2) years of the date that the accident occurred or the claim arose. Again, there are exceptions to this rule.
Further, if a government entity caused you harm, you must provide a proper written notice to the government entity in a much shorter period of time. This can be as short as 6 months if a city or city employee were at-fault or within 1 year if a county or the state was at fault.
The information in this paragraph is provided as a professional courtesy and does not constitute legal advise since our office does not represent you. If you have an injury claim, it is best to get proper legal counsel about when your statute of limitations will expire.
