The Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Cases in ME

In the state of Maine, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is generally 6 years. This means that if you've been injured due to someone else's negligence or wrongful actions, you generally have up to 6 years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for your damages.

However, it's important to note that there are certain exceptions and variations to the statute of limitations depending on the specifics of the case. For example:

• Discovery Rule: In some cases, the statute of limitations may start from the date when the injury was discovered or when it reasonably should have been discovered, rather than from the actual date of the injury.
• Minor Plaintiffs: If the injured party is a minor (under 18 years old), the statute of limitations may be "tolled" or paused until the minor reaches the age of 18.
• Government Entities: If the at-fault party is a government entity or employee, there might be specific notice requirements and shorter time limits for filing a claim. These rules are governed by the Maine Tort Claims Act.
• Medical Malpractice: Medical malpractice cases have their own statute of limitations and special requirements. Generally, a medical malpractice lawsuit must be filed within 3 years from the date of the alleged malpractice or within 3 years from the date the injury was discovered or should have been discovered, whichever is earlier.
• Wrongful Death: For wrongful death cases, the statute of limitations is generally 2 years from the date of the decedent's death.

It's crucial to consult with a qualified personal injury attorney in Maine to fully understand the statute of limitations that applies to your specific situation. 

Failing to file a lawsuit within the applicable time frame can result in losing your right to seek compensation for your injuries. An attorney can help you navigate the legal process and ensure that your rights are protected.
