If you have been injured in a truck accident, typically you have three years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. However, if the truck is owned by a municipal entity such as a town, city, or state, there are much shorter time limits in which you must file a claim. First, you have 90 days to file a notice of claim against your municipality, and then you only have one year and 90 days from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit. Additionally, you only have 30 days from the date of the accident to file a claim with the appropriate insurance company to ensure your medical treatment and lost wages are paid for. There are many other deadlines that must be met in a truck accident case, so you should always hire an experienced truck accident lawyer to guide you through the legal process.
