A: The phrase statute of limitations refers to the time limit for pursuing a legal remedy by either resolving a claim voluntarily between the parties or necessarily filing a lawsuit with a court system.
Different states have different statute of limitations time periods for different types of conduct, and there are often exceptions to these rules. As an example, minors or incompetents may have longer time periods; in some situations the statute is “tolled,” meaning something has stopped the statutory time period from running for a period of time; in some situations the statutory time period limitations may be shortened by contract; and in some situations the late discovery of an incident leading to the claim may extend the “normal” statute of limitations time period. In addition, federal law-related claims may have different statute of limitations than state-related claims. If the statute of limitations time period, along with any potential exceptions to the time period, has expired, the right to file a lawsuit seeking damages or other relief may be lost. Because of the complexities in understanding and keeping track of the statute of limitations time periods and exceptions, it is important to consult with an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
