In most states, the statute of limitations for a car accident is between one and four years. However, there are some exceptions. For example, in some states, the statute of limitations may be shorter if you are suing a government agency. It is important to note that the statute of limitations does not start to run until the day of your accident. If you are injured in a car accident, you should contact a lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case and to make sure that you do not miss the deadline for filing a lawsuit.
Here are some additional things to keep in mind about the statute of limitations for car accidents:
- In most states, the statute of limitations is tolled, or stopped, if you are under a disability. This means that if you are injured in a car accident and you are unable to file a lawsuit because of your injuries, the statute of limitations will not start to run until you are able to file a lawsuit.
- In some states, the statute of limitations may be extended if you can show that you were fraudulently concealed from your cause of action. This means that if you were lied to about the cause of your accident or if you were prevented from filing a lawsuit, the statute of limitations may be extended.
It is important to consult with a lawyer if you have been injured in a car accident. A lawyer can help you determine whether you have a case, and if so, they can help you file a lawsuit and get the compensation you deserve.
