Slip and Fall Statute of Limitations
Every state has different laws regarding personal injury lawsuits. Certain restrictions such as types of evidence, who can be held accountable for a slip and fall, and who can file a claim are often imposed. In addition, time limits, called statute of limitations, restrict the amount of time a victim has to file a claim after an accident. Because of these time restrictions, it is important that you contact an attorney as soon as possible after you are injured, or risk forfeiting your right to hold the responsible parties accountable.
