During arrest, policeman slammed cruiser door on leg causing injury.  The 1-year statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits in Kentucky has expired. Can suit still be filed based on the use of motor vehicle, from which suit for injuries carries 2-year statute of limitations?

almost definitely no.  This injury did not arise from operating a motor vehicle, it arose from the cop's error.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, maybe request to have a copy of what her injuries were and maybe consult some professionals about the likely hood those injuries occured as a result of your crash.  Shes probably trying to milk you for money now and the injury is probably superficial or non existant.  Check for a statute of limitations , or lawyer up.

The statute of limitations for each state is readilly available on the internet with a simple search.\n\nAttory Generals are not in the business of giving individuals legal advice.\n\nSo what is your problem here?  If the \nSOL has run out, you need to go back to court and get the judgement appealed and overturned.  Until that time the creditor can continue to garnish your wages.

Background check goes to the state police, who will have every felony from 18 years old on up - better to 'fess up now with an explanation - there is no "statute of limitations",  However, sometimes you can get a plea bargain and have it struck from your records, a local politician had his "drug dealing" struck off of his record.

There are many statutes of limitations. The basic idea behind them is that after a certain time has elapsed from the commission of an act, a person can no longer be charged or sued for it. One of the main reasons behind these laws are that is in many cases unfair to subject someone to a trial well after the witnesses forget details. What crimes and acts are covered by a statute of limitations depends on the state. Murder usually does not have a statute of limitations, however. Also, the statute of limitations is more important for civil cases than criminal. Imagine wondering for the rest of your life if someone you hit was going to sue you.

I have not found the hit and run statute for California, but I am wiling to bet that it says that if you hit an automobile and cause damage to it, and fail to remain at the scene it is a crime. Likewise if you hit an an automobile and cause injury to a passenger, and fail to remain at the scene it is also a crime.\nSo leaving the scene of a property damage accident is one count and leaving the scene of a personal injury accident is the second count.

Unfortunately, for anyone but a California attorney, the question is difficult to answer. In my own state, there are several different issues, some or all of which may also exist in Calif. First, was this a criminal matter? If so, the immediate concern is to file for post-conviction relief. This procedure is generally the means by which a convicted person can challenge the conviction after the appeals have run.\nWhether it is a criminal matter or a civil matter, malpractice is generally a tort matter, and most states have statutes of limitations for torts at one year. Most states... The year begins to run at the time of the malpractice, so you need to check your calendar on that. Also, you may have an action for breach of contract. Generally, the statutes of limitation for breach of contract runs longer than that for torts.\nI hope that a California attorney can provide you with information more specific to that state. Good luck.

In most states, the statute of limitations is based on the type of claim, not the court where it will be filed.  California has a 4 year statute for breach fo written contract and 2 years for breach of a verbal contract.  It doesn't matter if the case can be filed in small claims court or not.

yes it is under Article 43 of the UCMJ (uniform code of military justice) unless it is desertion during war time then there is no statue of limitation. You cannot be punished with an Article 15 more than 2 yrs post the event and you cannot be Court-Martialed more than 5 yrs unless you are charged with death.

STOP! before retaining an attorney $$$, consider contacting the business and informing them of the incident and request the name of their ins. provider. Often they make reasonable offers. (in this case doc bill plus $1000)\n\nOnly if they refuse and your injuries/damages exceed your states max. small claims award by $1000 should you even consider discussing the matter with an attorney. \n\nUnless you were injured and treated professionally (have a bill) your case is weak. Damages for pain and suffering with this type of occurance will be aprox. $1000 unless you can prove the incident was the result of negligence or malice. \n\nIf you hire an attorney it is likely there won't be enough money left to pay the bill for your care.

It depends on the State and what type of crime you were a victim of.  For example - if you were  victim of sexual assault - you may have more time - but if it was a simple assault - you may only have one year.  In your example above - they most likely have a year - but a prosecuter is going to wonder why if they wait long to report it.  May only have a civil case after too long

If the injured party has legal representation, be sure that the solicitor will pursue a claim against everyone involved.  \nIf your friend runs into the rear of another vehicle, your friend is liable (the doctrine of res ipsa loquitor applies).  Trying to get off the hook in a case like that is extremely difficult.  The only defense would be to show that the collision was unavoidable.  Nothing in your description indicates that to be the case.\nExample of a defensible case:  the other vehicle cuts in front of you and slams on his brakes, for no apparent reason.  There are two police officers, in different locations, who were witnesses.\nAs for injuries it does not take much to get a whiplash type injury.  Five to ten mph will do it.  If you are suspicious of the injury, have a private investigator put the plaintiff under surveillance.

They did not press charges against you for anything. All they did was file a paper that restricted you from coming on their property for one year. They do this because it is not worth their wild to pay lawyers to press charges for a misdemeanor first offense. This will show up on your record or in a background search for 1 year as long as it is active and then it will go away. All in all you are lucky but it could be a problem for a year.

I would contact the Kentucky Attorney General's office.  That office is generally the one that will give opinions on such matters.  \n\nGood luck in your race.

A warrant expires only if it is allowed to. If a warrant is close to it's expiration, then the judge usually renews it. There is no statute for limitations on warrants. There are statutes for limitations on some crimes (not all) and the limitations are for the period of time between when the crime is committed and when the person is charged.\n\nOnce a person is charged with a crime, the statue of limitations does not apply.
