What is the statute of limitations?

The statute of limitations is defined as the period of time after an accident during which you are eligible to make a claim against the party at fault. In the state of Wisconsin, the statute of limitations for a personal injury case is 3 years. If you do not file a claim within 3 years after the accident, then you are no longer eligible to do so.

In special cases, for example, with regards to accidents involving state or local government-employed workers, the claim must be filed within 120 days of the incident.

If you would like to learn more about the statute of limitations and how it applies to your situation, contact the Stevens Point car accident lawyers of Habush Habush & Rottier S.C. ® today at 800-242-2874.
