STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS
It is wise to contact an experienced personal injury law firm as soon as you think you may have a personal injury or wrongful death case. Delay can make it more difficult in obtaining verification of the facts of the case, interviewing witnesses and preserving evidence. There are time limitations (statute of limitations in legal terminology) for acting to protect your rights and the rights of your loved ones. If you do not act within certain arbitrary time limits, you may lose your right to make a claim, even if the injury gets worse as time goes by. The time you have to file and resolve a claim varies depending on the basis of the claim. Different types of claims have different time limitations so it is important to seek competent legal counsel before it is too late.
Different states have different statutes of limitations for the same type of claim. Federal claims have different limitations periods. Claims against certain municipal entities have specific notice requirements. The complexity of these rules make it imperative that legal counsel be obtained before your claim is barred by one of these time limits.
