📖What is it?

For informational/educational purposes only. Not legal advice. Consult a qualified attorney for your situation. A statute of limitations is a law that sets the maximum time after an event within which legal proceedings may be initiated. Missing this deadline usually bars you from filing a claim permanently.

🎯How to use

Select the statute of limitations period that applies to your type of claim and jurisdiction, then enter the number of months that have passed since the incident. The calculator shows months remaining and an urgency level.

💡Example scenario

Jane was in a car accident 8 months ago. Her state has a 3-year (36-month) statute of limitations for personal injury. She has 28 months remaining � urgency level 1 (Low). But she should still consult an attorney promptly.

🏆Pro tip

Statutes of limitations vary widely by claim type (personal injury, contract, fraud) and jurisdiction. The clock may be "tolled" (paused) if the claimant is a minor, was incapacitated, or the defendant concealed the harm. Never rely solely on this calculator � consult an attorney immediately.
