Re: Time limit on an auto accident?
The time limit for bringing an action for injuries from a car accident is 2 years. If the person injured is under the age of 18 at the time of the accident, the clock does not start until they turn 18. They then have two years to commence the action.
There may be some other issues that effect the answer but that is the general law.
If the person who caused the accident did not have insurance then you may have a difficult time collecting. I have been handling injury claims for over 30 years. I will be happy to discuss this with you if you give me a call. No charge or obligation for a confidential telephone call.
