STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS MIGHT STOP YOU FROM FILING YOUR LAWSUIT—CONTACT EXPERIENCED LOS ANGELES ATTORNEYS NOW
Many people may be unaware that civil lawsuits will expire within a certain period of time, and that if they do not file their lawsuits with the statutory period, then they are unable to bring the claim in the future. Almost all court cases, including criminal cases, have a statute of limitations barring how much time individuals have to file their claims. Crimes usually have a longer statute of limitations than civil cases, while specific cases like murder do not have a limitation at all. In order to protect your rights and to make sure that the statute of limitations has not run out on your claim, contact the attorneys at The Rudman Law Firm, PLC now at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO).
The statute of limitations is different for every case and is created by the state legislature and then enacted into law. These laws are set in place so that trials can take place in a timely matter and so that the evidence is well preserved. If people are allowed too much time to file their lawsuit, the relevant evidence may disappear. For example, eye witnesses may move away, or die, and physical evidence might be destroyed by time or nature. The statute of limitations “tolls” or begins once the incident that caused the injury occurred. Many civil lawsuits have a statute of limitations of one to three years, and unless the victim falls under a certain exception, there is very little chance that he/she will be able to bring the lawsuit after the expired time period.
