Statute of Limitations

If you have been injured, timing is critical – the sooner you speak with a personal injury attorney, the sooner you will determine important issues that affect your particular claim and your ability to collect on it, such as its statute of limitations. A statute of limitations is a law that defines the maximum amount of time in which parties involved in a dispute must initiate legal proceedings following an alleged offense. The duration of a statute of limitations varies depending on the nature of the offense and the location of the jurisdiction. You may have more than one type of legal claim, each with a different time limit in which the claim can be settled or a lawsuit filed. Putnam Law can help you manage your claims in an efficient and time-sensitive manner.
