In the US, each state sets its own time limits for filing lawsuits, known as statutes of limitations. These vary widely, from one year for defamation in some states to over ten years for breach of contract in others. For personal injury, the limit is commonly two to three years, but it's crucial to check your specific state's laws because missing the deadline usually means you lose the right to sue. This system aims to ensure evidence remains reliable and claims are brought promptly.
