Each state has a “statute of limitations” that indicates how long parties have to file a lawsuit. The time limitations vary from state to state based on your claim, and there may be factors that can extend the time to file. Even if your accident occurred a long time ago, you may still have the ability to file a lawsuit. Contact our team of auto lawyers, and we can review the motor vehicle law of your state to see if you can pursue a claim.
