The simple answer is “it depends.” A personal injury claim may have one set of deadlines while a medical malpractice claim has yet a different set. Public entities may require a claim to be filed before filing a lawsuit. These deadlines are known as “statutes of limitations” and they vary depending on the type of injury. When Vaage Law looks at a potential case, the first thing we do is try to establish who the potential defendants/wrongdoers are and the nature of the claims.
