An Eye Injury Lawyer Talks About Statutes of Limitations and Eye Injury Claims
Time’s up!!
When it comes to suing for eye injuries, there’s no time like the present.
The lawsuit must be filed before the expiration of the Statute of Limitations deadline. Statutes of Limitations deadlines for eye injuries vary from state to state and from case to case. Generally, minors have two years from their 18th birthday to sue.
Different Statutes of Limitations deadlines apply to other kinds of injury cases. For example, in medical malpractice cases, in most states, you have a set number of years from the date you first discovered or should have discovered the malpractice to file the lawsuit.
