The “statute of limitations” is a legal term that refers to the amount of time a person or party has to take legal action against someone else. In cases involving personal injury, the statute of limitations usually begins as soon as an individual suffers an injury or should reasonable have discovered that he or she was injured. After the statute of limitations has passed, it is typically no longer possible for an injury victim to pursue compensation.
If you have been hurt in a personal injury accident, it is important to discuss your situation with an attorney as soon as possible so that you do not lose the chance to seek compensation.
