Understanding the Critical Deadlines: Why Statutes of Limitations Matter in Your Legal Case

RENO, NV, NV / ACCESS Newswire / October 21, 2025 / LegalMatch.com is raising awareness about statute of limitations and how there are various time limits within which claims must be filed. This has a significant impact on the client's ability to pursue justice for civil and criminal lawsuits, as these deadlines can be the biggest factor in determining whether a case can move forward, potentially barring individuals from seeking a resolution or compensation.

Statute of limitations criteria are based on specific jurisdictions. For example, the timeline for a medical malpractice claim in Texas may differ from one in New York or Florida. If an individual finds themselves outside the statute of limitations for a specific case or claim, they may not be able to pursue litigation, regardless of how valid their claim may be.

"Most people aren't aware that there are time limits involved, and they can be quite different depending on the case and jurisdiction. It is essential to seek legal advice to ensure that you can pursue action and not succumb to devastating consequences based on timeliness," says Ken LaMance, LegalMatch's General Counsel.

A LegalMatch attorney can assist with the following:

• Identifying applicable statutes to determine the time limit for filing a claim.

• Evaluating potential exceptions and seeing if any extensions may apply to the claim.

• Retaining legal claims and ensuring the necessary steps have been taken and all documents are filed on time.

• Pursuing legal action through representation, ensuring relevant deadlines have been met.
