LANSING, Mich. (WILX) – This week on the Legal Answer, Lansing personal injury attorney Katie Tucker from Sinas Dramis Law Firm, joins us to answer a viewer question, about personal injury claim time limits. Legal Answer viewer Sabrina contacted the Legal Answer and asked the following question:
Q: Is there a statute of limitations for pursuing a personal injury claim?
Answer: If you’re injured in a motor vehicle crash, there are two time limits you want to keep in mind:
· The One-Year-Back Rule – This applies to claims for no-fault benefits, like medical benefits, wage loss, and survivor benefits. It requires you to file a lawsuit within one year of the date the expense occurred. Failure to do so could bar you from pursuing those claims.
· Three Year Statute of Limitations – This refers to claims for bodily injury liability. If you don’t’ file the claim within three years, you’ll be barred from ever being able to pursue this type of claim.
