- The statute of limitations regarding a claim against a bar for lack of security varies from one state to another. The typical time frame is either two or three years from the date of the incident to the deadline for filing a lawsuit.
- A lawsuit brought against a bar for damages or injuries sustained because of lack of security is a personal injury lawsuit. The personal injury statute of limitations in the state where the incident occurred governs the deadline for filing a lawsuit.
- Two common misconceptions exist associated with the statute of limitations for this type of case. Some people wrongly assume that the case must be filed directly after the incident, within a matter or weeks or a few months. At the other extreme, some individuals presume that a much longer period of time is available to file a lawsuit of this nature.
