Statute of Limitations

In personal injury law, one of the most important factors is the timing of the proposed suit. The statute of limitations deals with the maximum amount of time one can wait before filing suit, and after this time, the statute of limitations is said to have run out. In personal injury law, the amount of time for this can vary widely depending on the type of injury. Additionally, each state has different time limits for various personal injuries.

SPOTLIGHT

The best way one can find out if the statute of limitations is going to effect their situation is by consulting a personal injury lawyer. Not only will this help to protect your rights, but it may open up new avenues for your potential lawsuit. For example, you may be involved in a slip and fall accident. Perhaps the statute of limitations has run out on your claim that the landlord was negligent for failing to clear the walkway of snow, but maybe you feel he intentionally didn't clear the walkway because he was angry with you. In this case, these two different reasons may be covered by different laws and may in fact be different torts, each with different statutes of limitations.
