What does statute of limitations mean?
You may be asking yourself the following question: How much time do I have to file a lawsuit for my injuries or for the death of a loved one? The rules that answer this question are called “Statutes of Limitations”. These rules provide that if you don’t file a lawsuit within the time allotted, you can NEVER file a lawsuit to be compensated for your injuries or the death of a loved one.
