Re: Stature of limitations

For personal injury and bodily injury it was 1 year, it is now 2 years, from a law change. Additionally, if it is for subrogation, for example, an insurance company paid a settlement, they have 1 year from the time they paid, which might be years after the incident.

If you had insurance at the time, they will take care of it, if you did not, you will need help.
