Because every state has certain time limits, called "statutes of limitations," which govern the amount of time you have to file a personal injury lawsuit. In some states, you may have as little as one year to file a lawsuit arising out of an automobile accident.

Consequently, it is important to talk with a lawyer as soon as you suffer or discover an injury.
