You will find in the C.S.A. (California Statues Annotated) that different law violations have different statues of limitations in which a case can be filed.  Typically they are one, two, three, five, seven, and ten year statutes of limitations while some cases have none at all.

Don't worry about the statute of limitations. You have already won the lawsuit and the statute of limitations to collect the judgment will be a long time.\nThe type of supplemental hearing is described in sec 2-1420 of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure. It allows you to bring the person back to Court and ask them what they have and where they have it.\nThen you get a writ of attachment or a writ of garnishment to collect property from the places (like banks and employers) that you found have property belonging to the person.

I don't know the details of your case, but I think you are probably learning why you shouldn't be doing this pro-se.  \n\nIf you have been to attorneys and they have told you that the case has no merit, and you filed it pro se, then you may have subjected yourself to sanctions for a frivelous complaint.\n\nThe defendant in this matter has probably retained an attorney, and its the attorney who filed the answer and then moved for dismissal.  You should review the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for information on how to proceed, if you are going to represent yourself.  However, I strongly suggest that you should retain counsel.\n\nIf you want to retain an attorney, contact your local or state bar association for a referral to an attorney licensed in Virginia.

The statute only specifically mentions insurance companies and lawsuits for injuries generally have a 6 year limitation. It is unclear from the statutes if it s possible to sue someone whose insurance did not cover an accident, especially if the person did not properly request payment from the insurer. I would speak to a lawyer about it.

If you are making a simple complaint...then you can do so at anytime. \n\nIf you intend to make a claim for injury or loss, then it depends on which jurisdiction you live as there are time limitations in making a claim...however, I have never heard of anywhere having a limitation of like 2 months..I'd say you'd have at least a year no matter where you are.

Since it has been 8months I doubt you will get anywhere with it. Not only that you have to prove that they knew about the damage....the court doest side on just assumptions. If I would you next time you buy a used car take it some place and get it looked over if the dealer ship wont allow it have the look it over and sign off that there is no damage. If you dont like this answer I would seek legal help!

typically a fine and/or community service.  possible jail-time depending on criminal history and the extent of the damage, but most likely not to exceed one year.  these laws are usually set by state government under property damage laws.  Also, owner of vandalized property may sue for damages in civil court.

You don't say if the matter is criminal or civil.  If it is criminal, and he needs a defense atty, he can get a public defender.   He should have been informed of this by the court.\n\nIf you are looking for a private pro bono atty on a civil matter, there are several places to start looking.  Look for a local legal aid society.  Then try contacting the State Bar, or the County Bar, associations.  They usually have programs to put people in touch with potential lawyers.  If there is a law school in the area, you can often get very good representation by law students overseen by practising lawyers, who do this regularly.  If it is a civil liberties issue, contact the ACLU.\n\nBut you should know the odds aren't good.  Lots of people look for free lawyers, and most lawyers prefer to be paid.  If the vet is looking to sue someone, it may be possible to find a lawyer not on a pro bono basis, but for a contingency fee, which would mean you'd pay nothing except a (healthy) portion of any recovery made in the lawsuit.

I'm a J.D. and was similarly injured in an auto accident that caused numerous ruptured discs.  Though your injury is serious and your suffering severe, your recovery will depend on the amount of the negligent driver's auto-insurance coverage.  Most accident cases are settled out of court, with no fault insurance taking care of all medical bills up to a certain dollar amount, as much as $500,000, but that of course depends on the particular carrier and policy.  When people buy car insurance they do so in increments; in most states, 25/50 is the lowest possible amount of coverage a driver may have, meaning that if you are injured by that party, the maximum you will be able to recover from their insurance would be $50, 000.  If you are lucky, the other driver's coverage will be greater.  Of course, your recovery would be augmented by any personal recovery against the other driver.  Have you brought suit against the other driver?  If that is the case, as much as 5 years can pass before the case is finally resolved.  I couldn't see a jury coming back with more than a $100,000 verdict in your favor, and that's a stretch.  I truly empathize with you and wish you well in your future recovery as I know your struggles.

If suit has been filed within the time frame (usually 2 years for most torts) then the statute of limitations does not apply.  You have been served have notice and must respond within the time stated on service of process or you will lose by default.  Check with your insurance you may have coverage for this.

There is probably a statute of limitations, where you can only sue/be prosecuted within a certain time frame around when the original problem happened.  You'd need to check if it is less than 6.5 years.  Even then it can be hard to prosecute against.

First, I am really sorry to hear this and wish you all the best.\n\nBut knowing a good law firm requires knowing the specific jurisdiction of the event. You are going to be looking for a plaintiff's litigation firm which specializes in personal injury. While money is not necessarily an objective, the recovery might be extensive assuming the estate of the deceased driver has anything to give. I would recommend consulting with a few different lawyers in your area and comparing their advice. Given what you have said, the recovery should be rather significant (including injuries to your wife, vehicle loss, loss of wages, and any potential impact it might have on the child). But just compare the advice of the attnys in the area and proceed from there.

You are referring to adverse possession. In West Virginia, to sue for a title to land, you must commence the action in 10 years. So, if you use the property as your own for 10 years, there's nothing the owner can do.

In North Carolina the staute of limitation is 7 years. Call the IL sheriff's dept or a majestrate and just ask them.
