IS THERE A PERIOD OF TIME IN CIVIL CASES, INCLUDING PERSONAL INJURY MATTERS BY WHICH A LAWSUIT MUST BE FILED?
In all such actions there is a limitation period by which the case must be fully settled or a lawsuit filed or by the passage of the limitation period without settlement or litigation, the claim will be barred. In tort or personal injury cases the period is generally one year from the date of the accident. You must consult with an attorney to determine the precise limitation period for your particular action long before the one year anniversary date.
