Does a personal injury lawsuit have to be filed within a certain amount of time
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. (As
explained later in this chapter, limitations in medical malpractice cases are often
calculated differently.) You see, then, why it is important to talk with a lawyer as soon as
you receive or discover an injury.
