As noted by Forbes Advisor in the article “Car Accident Statute Of Limitations 2025 Guide,” the legal window to file a car accident claim is often shorter than people expect. Every state imposes a statute of limitations, which means injured parties only have a limited amount of time to take legal action.  

After a car accident, victims may suffer from severe injuries, vehicle damage, or emotional trauma. While the legal system offers a path to seek compensation for these losses, the opportunity to file a claim isn’t open-ended. The article explains that statutes of limitations differ widely across states. For example, Tennessee gives just one year for filing personal injury claims, while Rhode Island allows up to 10 years for property damage claims. Most states fall within the two- to six-year range.
