Government Claim Notice Requirement

Claims against government entities typically require filing a formal notice of claim within a limited window that varies by state of the incident — well before the standard lawsuit deadline. This is a separate and earlier requirement. Contact BAM Injury Law immediately.

👶

Minor's Tolling Exception

Because the injured party was a minor, the statute of limitations may be tolled (paused) until they turn 18, giving additional time to file. However, government claim rules may still apply. Verify with an attorney.

🔍

Discovery Rule

If you didn't know — and couldn't reasonably have known — about your injury or its cause at the time of the incident, the clock may start from the date you discovered (or should have discovered) the harm.

⚠️

Medical Malpractice Exception

Medical malpractice cases may have shorter filing deadlines and additional requirements. Ask an attorney about the rules that apply to your state and circumstances.
