The time between when an incident occurs and when you take legal action against that incident is very important. Each state has different laws that restrict the amount of time you have to claim suit against that incident – the statute of limitations.
For example, if you slipped and fell in the grocery store and hurt your back, waiting 20 years to sue that grocery store would most likely deem you ineligible based on the statute of limitations laws in place in your state.
As each state’s laws are all different, it is recommended you consult the advice of a legal professional for more information regarding your statute of limitations.
