Re: accident 6 years ago
The statute of limitations is 6 years. A person can make a claim that they
were injured within that time. to have a good case, the person filing the
suit would have to demonstrate a clear chain of treatment demonstrating that
the injury was sustained after the accident and that treatment has continued
consistently since that time.
