Re: Civil Lawsuit

The question that you asked refers to statutes of limitation. Once the statute of limitation is over, you cannot bring a particular claim. The statute of limitation differs between types of cases. For example, the statute of limitations in many personal injury cases is 2 years but under the Federal Employer's Liability Act, the statute is 3 years. You will need to seek counsel and discuss the particulars of your situation to determine the applicable statute of limitations.

The above is meant to assist in a general understanding of the subject matter and is not to be construed as legal advice. No attorney - client relationship has been established. Companies or individuals with particular questions should seek advice of counsel.
