How long after an accident can I sue?

The length of time to bring a lawsuit after you have been injured, it’s called the ‘statute of limitations’, it varies from state to state. It’s very difficult to say exactly how long a person has to bring a claim. You need to hire a competent attorney that is well-versed and experienced, that knows when the statute of limitations on a case will run.

The statute of limitations or time limit to bring the claim is extremely important because if you don’t bring that claim within the time limit, your claim is forever barred and you can never bring that claim no matter how justified it was. It’s very important that your attorney and you know about the statute of limitations or the time limit. For us here at D’Amore Law Group, our goal is to get the claim and the case filed as early as possible. Don’t wait for the statute of limitations. Get the claim filed. Get the claim done if you can. If the other side’s not being reasonable then you have to file a lawsuit.
