What is the time established for filing law suits?

Statutes of limitation differ not only from state to state, but also with regard to the type of lawsuit involved. In some states the statutes of limitations for medical malpractice, wrongful death cases, or lawsuits against governmental agencies may be shorter than for other types of personal injury cases,well perhaps not suits involving the federal government, but anyway. In general, however, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is from one to three years. For other types of actions, such as enforcing a judgment, the statute of limitations may be up to 20 years or more! There are some exceptions to the rule, however. Also, the date upon which the time period begins to "run" (and the clock starts to tick) may vary depending on whether you discovered the injury/harm some time after it actually occurred.
