Re: Car Accident

Generally, they have 2 years from the time of the accident to sue you for bodily injuries, and 3 years for property damage. If you were uninsured or if for some other reason their insurance company has already paid their claim, the insurance company has three years for both the property damage and the bodily injury from the time they are paid out to bring an action.

Re: Car Accident

Depends on the nature of the accident but between 1-3 years. . .
