Limitation Periods

Limitation periods are legal time limits within which a person must file a lawsuit or claim after an incident or harm occurs. These periods vary depending on the type of case and jurisdiction. Once the deadline passes, the injured party generally cannot pursue legal action, even if they have a valid claim. Limitation periods encourage timely claims, preserve evidence, and ensure fairness. It’s important to be aware of these deadlines to protect your legal rights; otherwise, you risk losing the ability to seek compensation or justice for your issue.
