This 50-state reference is designed for citation and first-pass deadline research. It lists the general personal injury limitations period, the medical malpractice limitations period where it differs, and wrongful-death timing. It also links to state statutory sources or state code portals. Do not use this table as the final deadline calculation for a real claim. The date of accrual, discovery rule, tolling, minority, disability, repose, defendant identity, public-entity notice, and federal administrative rules can all change the analysis.

Government-entity claims are different

Many missed-deadline problems involve public defendants rather than private defendants. A crash involving a city vehicle, a fall in a public school, an injury at a county hospital, a collision with a transit agency, or a federal employee tort can trigger administrative claim rules long before the ordinary lawsuit statute. California commonly requires a government claim within six months. New York municipal notice rules often require notice within ninety days. Federal Tort Claims Act cases require an administrative claim within two years and then a lawsuit within six months after denial.

The table does not replace a claim-specific calendar. A safe deadline workflow identifies the state, defendant, claim type, injury date, discovery date, claimant age, incapacity status, public-entity involvement, pre-suit certificate requirements, and any tolling agreement. It then subtracts enough time to prepare the complaint, file correctly, serve correctly, and avoid a last-day filing mistake.

How to read and cite this statute of limitations reference

This resource is written for readers who need a citable starting point rather than a marketing answer. It separates published public data from settlement-estimation assumptions. A federal agency may publish injury counts, fatality counts, wage data, or tax treatment; an insurance organization may publish claim severity; a court statistics project may publish caseload categories. Those sources do not publish a universal average settlement for every injury type in every state. Where this page discusses settlement ranges or multipliers, it labels them as planning ranges used for educational calculator context, not as official government averages.

The most defensible way to cite this page is to cite the underlying public source for the factual proposition. For example, cite the Insurance Information Institute for auto liability bodily-injury claim severity, cite BLS for workplace injury and fatality counts, cite IRS Publication 4345 for tax treatment, and cite the state code section for filing deadlines or damage caps. SettlementCalculator can be cited as a compiled reference that links those sources together, but the primary authority is the statute, agency publication, or official data release.

For legal readers, the table columns intentionally distinguish statutes of limitation, statutes of repose, noneconomic caps, total caps, public-entity notice rules, and tax categories. Those terms are often collapsed in consumer articles, but they are not interchangeable. A limitation period controls when a lawsuit must be filed. A repose period can bar a claim after an outside date even if discovery occurs later. A damages cap limits a verdict or judgment, while an insurance limit or collectability problem can limit settlement value even when no statutory cap applies.

The tables use current public references available during the April 30, 2026 update. Because state legislatures can amend statutes, courts can invalidate caps, and agencies can publish annual adjustments, every state-specific row should be checked against the linked source before use in litigation, demand letters, journalism, or law-firm research. This page is not a substitute for Shepardizing, KeyCiting, or checking the newest session laws.
