What is the statute of limitations in my motorcycle accident law case?
The statute of limitations is the specified time period that the law permits a claim to be filed against a responsible party. The statute of limitations varies for cases involving children and adults, and also differs from state to state. It is important that when a serious and catastrophic injury, such as a burn injury occurs while at work, that an attorney and trained investigators be retained as quickly as possible after the accident or injury so that any potential third parties, other than the employer, can be identified and any evidence be preserved. This site is deliberately kept general, and is not to be used for specific advice in any particular case. However, if you fail to start your case before a statute of limitations runs, or to make a claim within the time required by a specific claims statute, you could forever lose your right to pursue your case.
