Frequently Asked Questions

What is a statute of limitations?
A statute of limitations is the maximum time period after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated. Once expired, the claim is typically barred.
Can the limitation period be extended?
Yes, in certain circumstances through 'tolling' - for example, if the injured party was a minor, the defendant was absent from the jurisdiction, or the injury was not immediately discoverable.
Do these periods apply to all cases?
No. These are general guidelines. Specific limitation periods can vary based on the exact cause of action, applicable statutes, and court interpretations. Always consult a licensed attorney.
