Q : Does a personal injury lawsuit have to be filed within a certain amount of time?
A : Every state has certain time limits, called "statutes of limitations," that govern the period during which you must file a personal injury lawsuit. In some states, for example, you may have as little as one year to file a lawsuit from an automobile accident. If you miss the statutory deadline for filing a case, your case is thrown out of court. It is recommended to speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as you receive or discover an injury.
