Every state has certain time limits, called statutes of limitations, which govern the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. In some states, you may have as little as one year to file a lawsuit arising out of an automobile accident. If you miss the deadline for filing your case, you may lose your legal right to damages for your injury. Consequently, it is important to talk with a personal injury lawyer as soon as you suffer or discover an injury.
