Statute of Limitations | Bye, Goff & Rohde | 800-607-3030
We understand that if you have been affected by an accident you have more immediate concerns – like obtaining proper medical care, keeping a job, or planning a loved one’s funeral. Understandably, if you have been injured, filing a lawsuit may not be your initial concern. But, it is also important to keep in mind Wisconsin and Minnesota’s statute of limitations laws.
Statute of Limitations is part of state law that sets a time limit on when a person can file suit in a civil court. The time limit begins when the injury or accident occurred. Statute of limitations can vary from state to state. They also depend upon the type of case you want to file. In general, once the statute of limitations on a case “runs out,” the legal claim is not valid any longer.

In some cases, the statute of limitations can be extended. For example, in Wisconsin, it may be longer for a minor or those that are deemed mentally incompetent. Shorter or longer limitations periods can also apply depending on the nature of the parties, the location of the injury, the legal theory involved, and other factors. To determine the deadlines and limitations periods that apply to any particular claim, an experienced personal injury lawyer should be consulted.
