The time limitation, or State of Limitation, is the maximum legal time period to file a lawsuit. Once the Statute of Limitations passes, the injury victim loses their right to file a lawsuit forever. The period of time to file a motor vehicle negligence action in court is two years from the date of the accident. However, there are nuances and exceptions to this general law. One nuance is the minor's exception to the Statute of Limitations. A minor who is involved in a car accident has until their 18th birthday plus two more years to file a motor vehicle accident negligence complaint. However, just because a minor is involved in the accident does not extend the period of time for the adult to file their lawsuit. Do not wait until the last minute to find a lawyer to file a lawsuit on your behalf. For several reasons, it may not be possible to find a lawyer last minute. First, you might not be able to find a good lawyer to take the case into litigation because their litigation calendar is already too full. Second, it is always preferable to get your ducks in a row and set up the case the right way. Filing a lawsuit just to preserve the time period limitation is not usually the preferred way to begin litigation.
