A:It depends. Every state has a very specific statute of limitations, or deadline, for filing various types of claims. The deadline will provide a window of time within which a lawsuit must be filed. The statute of limitations varies depending on the type of claim, where it occurred, and the type of defendant. It is vitally important to be aware of the statute of limitations in your state and in the state where any alleged wrongful conduct occurred. If you have any questions about the applicable deadline, it is important to seek legal guidance from an experienced plaintiff law firm at your earliest convenience. It is better to be safe than sorry.
