The statute of limitations is a law that dictates the maximum amount of time an individual has to file a claim following an accident or alleged offense. If they do not file their claim within that allotted time, they can be barred from collecting compensation for the harm and losses they sustained in an accident.
In Utah, the statute of limitations to file a legal claim after a premises liability accident is generally four years from the date of the accident. However, there may be exceptions to this rule that impact this filing period by either shortening or extending it. That is why it is best that you do not wait to contact an experienced Salt Lake premises liability lawyer after your accident.
These attorneys can figure out not only how much time you have to file your case but also ensure that your legal motions and documents are prepared correctly and submitted to the appropriate court before time expires.
