The deadline, known as the statute of limitations, varies by case type:
- Personal Injury (e.g., auto accidents): 3 years from the date of the injury
- Medical Malpractice: 3 years from the malpractice incident or 1 year from discovery
- Wrongful Death: 3 years from the date of death
Waiting too long can result in losing your right to file, so it’s essential to contact a qualified attorney to review your claim as soon as possible.
