All cases must be filed before the statute of limitations expires.  The statute of limitations is a strict time period set by law which requires that all cases must be timely filed.  There are different time periods for different types of cases.  In many personal injury cases, this time period is usually two years.  However, there are some circumstances in which the time period is much less, and there are also some circumstances in which the time period is longer.

It is extremely important to speak with an attorney regarding statute of limitations issues.
