Statutes of limitations are laws that set the deadline or maximum period of time within which a lawsuit may be filed. Each state in the USA, as well as Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands has its own specific statutes of limitations, which can vary widely. Additionally, the statute of limitations are specific to the cause of action.
The most important thing for anyone who has a potential claim is to know is the statute of limitations for his or her claim(s). If you do not file a lawsuit within the time prescribed by the law, you forever lose your right to recover for your damages from the liable party.
I strongly advise you to consult with a local attorney regarding the statutes of limitations that apply to your claims. I wish you the best.
