Statute of Limitations

Question:
What is the Statute of Limitations?

Answer:
The Statute of Limitations is the time period after which a lawsuit cannot be brought.

The Statute of Limitations varies by state - in medical malpractice cases, many states have a two year Statute of Limitations. Some states have Statutes of Limitation as short as one year, other states have Statutes of Limitation as long as three years or more.

The attorneys listed on the Footlaw.com web site will only advise potential clients of the Statutes of Limitation for those states in which they are admitted to that state's Bar.
