About

StatuteLimits compiles state statute-of-limitations deadlines into one fast, plain-language table. We are not a law firm and we provide no legal advice. Our goal is to help a reader find the right filing deadline and the statute behind it before that deadline expires.

What we publish

We maintain a 50-state comparison across eight common claim types, plus focused pages on debt collection, tolling exceptions, and how limitation periods work. Each number is paired with the statute citation so a reader can verify it against the official code.

How we keep it accurate

The data is reviewed against state statutes and tagged with a review year. When a state amends a code, the affected cell is updated. Because law changes, the table is a starting point for verification, not a final answer.

Editorial independence

We do not accept payment to change a deadline or to rank one outcome over another. Advertising, when shown, is placed by an independent ad network and does not affect the reference content.

Who writes this

The reference is compiled by a small research desk that reads state codes and summarizes the filing deadlines in plain language. We are not a law firm, and no one here gives legal advice. Our only goal is a clear, verifiable table that a reader can check against the official statute.

How you can help

If you spot a deadline that looks wrong after a legislative change, send the state and the section number through the contact page. A specific citation lets us confirm and correct the table quickly, which keeps the whole reference sharper for every reader who returns to it.
