In most states the clock runs out two years after the crash — one year in Tennessee. Tell us what happened and your request goes to a participating car accident lawyer in your area. It's free, confidential, and there's no obligation to hire anyone.

Tell us what happened
Takes under a minute. A lawyer reviews it, not a bot.
Call (844) 471-0409How long you have to file, by state
This is the deadline to file a lawsuit for an adult's injuries. It is not the deadline to call a lawyer — waiting makes evidence harder to find and gives the insurer more room to argue.
Shorter deadlines apply when a government vehicle or road authority is involved — often a written notice within six months. Deadlines for a death claim can differ. General information only, not legal advice about your case.
What kind of crash was it?
Each one turns on different evidence and a different insurer. Pick the closest.
