The statute of limitations is the time frame you have to file a lawsuit. When the statute of limitations expires on your case, you simply do not have a case anymore. The statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases in Florida, for example, is generally two years. The time begins at the time of the malpractice, or from when you knew or should have known that there was malpractice which caused an injury.
