How much time do I have to file my personal injury case?
A rigid timeline does exist in which you need to make a claim for different types of injuries. The failure to act timely to protect yourself can become a complete barrier to your right to recover. The general statement about some injury deadlines, with some types of cases is as follows: motor vehicle accident: 2 years, slip and fall: 2 year, product liability: 2 years and claims against government entities: six months notice to entity from discovery of claim. Please be aware that these are general statements of limitations. There are many exceptions and you should consult an attorney concerning your particular claim and the applicable statute of limitations and any available exceptions.
