Statute of Limitations: Time Limit to File a Personal Injury Claim

When it comes to any sort of harm or injury that you have been a part of, you have the legal right to be able to receive compensation for your part in someone else’s negligence and fault. At the same time,

 you also have to act within a certain amount of time because the courts only allow for a specific length, called a statute of limitations. When it comes to your specific situation then you need to be aware not only of what your rights are, but also how much time you have to use them.

That’s exactly why it is so important to work with a Palm Springs personal injury law firm that has experience in the issue and knows exactly what they are doing. In California, according to the California Courts, the limit is two years from the date of the injury. If you discover the injury later, then it is one year from the date your injury was discovered.

In addition to the specific states and the statutes of limitations, there are many issues that could come forward. You have to be sure you are able to know how much time is on your side, plus the time that is required with respect to filings, deadlines, and other factors that must come within each given state or territory. The law may be the law, but in different locations it can change quickly.

At the end of the day, the name of the game is having experience on your side. The Palm Springs personal injury law firm that you can trust is the one who will walk with you and work with you each and every step of the way to get the results you are looking for.
