Frequently asked questions
- What is a statute of limitations?
- A statute of limitations sets the maximum time after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated. Once it expires, the claim is generally barred forever, regardless of its merit.
- When does the clock start?
- The start date depends on the jurisdiction and claim type. Some use the date the harm occurred ('occurrence rule'); others use the date the plaintiff discovered or reasonably should have discovered the harm ('discovery rule').
- Can the limitations period be paused?
- Yes. 'Tolling' can pause the clock in situations such as the defendant being out of the jurisdiction, the plaintiff being a minor, or fraudulent concealment. Consult an attorney to determine whether tolling applies.
