Deadlines for filing a construction accident claim
Statute of limitations
In the United States, each state has its own laws and statutes of limitations that establish the deadline within which you must file a construction accident claim. Generally, this deadline varies between 1 and 6 years from the date of the accident. It is essential to know the applicable law in your state so as not to lose the opportunity to file a claim within the established deadline.
Deadline to notify your employer
In addition to the statute of limitations, you may need to notify your employer about the construction accident within a certain time frame. In many states, notification must be made within a short period, such as 30 days from the date of the accident. Failure to notify in a timely manner may affect your right to receive compensation.
