Скачать или смотреть Statute of Limitations?

Did you know there are time constraints within which you must file a lawsuit if you’ve been injured in an accident? It’s called a statute of limitations (for the love of God, please don’t call it a statue of limitations).

In most states, it’s 2 years from the date of accident. But in some states, like New York, it’s 3 years from the date of accident.

The statute, however, generally applies to adults making claims. For anyone younger than 18 when injured, most statutes give them until their 20th birthday to file suit.

Make sure to check with your state‘s statute because, once the statute of limitations expires, you are forever precluded from filing that suit.
