What Are Statute of Limitations?

Practically every crime has a statute of limitations, which is the time limit one has to file criminal charges or a civil lawsuit against the accused. The specific statute of limitations varies from offense to offense and state to state. If you have been injured, or a loved one has been killed, due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, you must find out what the statute of limitations is so you file suit in time. The Oklahoma auto accident attorneys at Stipe Injury Law can advise you regarding the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit following a car accident in the state of Oklahoma. The longer you wait to contact us, the less time you may have to file a claim.

Under Oklahoma’s statute of limitations, car accident claims must be filed within two years of the day of the incident. If the statute of limitations expires before a car accident lawsuit is brought, a claimant faces the possibility of having his or her case dismissed.
