Are maritime claims subject to a Statute of Limitations?

A Statute of Limitations is a state or federal law setting forth a specific and strictly enforced time “limitation” on the filing of lawsuits. If claims filed under the Jones Act or the General Maritime Law of the United States cannot be earlier resolved, the Statute of Limitations provides only three years for the filing of a lawsuit. No matter how serious the injuries or how strong the claim is, all financial recovery will be forever barred if no.
