Limitations Period for Personal Injury Claims - Stephen Stewart ...

Sadly, many accident victims and their families call us seeking help for themselves or a loved one, only to learn that the time limit to do anything from a legal standpoint has passed?leaving them with no help or assistance.??? A Statute of Limitations is a law which places a strict time limit on being able to initiate civil legal action.? When a statute of limitations has expired, it is no longer possible to bring a legal action against someone for injury, harm, or damages that have been suffered.? Each state has its own statute of limitations for filing lawsuits.? These statutes limit the right of an injured party to file a lawsuit unless it is done within a specified time period.? Statute of limitation laws are put in place in order to prevent fraudulent and stale claims from arising after evidence has been lost or after facts have become obscure through the passage of time, defective memories, and death or disappearance of witnesses.

Personal injury, wrongful death, and defective product claims are generally governed by a two (2) year statute of limitation.? There are some very narrow exceptions that may apply to limitations periods.? In order to assure that evidence is properly preserved, witness statements are taken, and complete investigations of claims can be timely completed, most accident victims will benefit from seeking good legal counsel early in the process.?
