Time’s up!!When it comes to suing for eye injuries, there’s no time like the present.The lawsuit must be filed before the expiration of the Statute of Limitations deadline. Statutes of Limitations deadlines for eye injuries vary from state to state and from case to case. Generally, minors have two years from their 18th birthday to sue.Different Statutes of Limitations deadlines apply to other kinds of injury cases. For example, in medical malpractice cases, in most states, you have a set number of years from the date you first discovered or should have discovered the malpractice to file the lawsuit.Alabama Code of Alabama Section 6-2-38 2 yearsAlaska Alaska Statutes Section 09 10.070 2 yearsArizona Arizona Revised Statutes Section 12-542 2 yearsCalifornia 1 year for accidents before January 1, 2003 1 year2 years for accidents after January 1, 2003. 2 yearIf the statute of limitations on a claim has not run before the amendment, on 1/1/03, then it is a 2-year statute, so accidents in 2002 can benefit from the 2 year statute of limitations.
