Statute of Limitations
The law sets an expiration date, known as the statute of limitations, within which an injured person can file a lawsuit.

The specifics of the statute of limitations can differ from state to state and each kind of case has its own specific time frame.
The "clock" of the statute of limitations usually begins to tick when the accident or incident that caused the injury occurs. However, there are several exceptions that can extend the time needed to file lawsuits. The discovery rule is one such exception. It states that the statute-of-limitations clock does not start until the injury has been identified or ought to have been discovered.

A minor may be granted an additional year to file a lawsuit even although the statute would usually expire prior to turning 19. There is also the "tolling" provision, which allows the limitations period to be suspended during certain circumstances and events including military service or involuntary mental hospitalization.

Damages
Damages are compensation paid to the victim of a tort (wrongful act). There are two basic types of damages: compensatory and punitive. Compensatory damages pay plaintiffs back their losses and are intended to help them recover after an accident, whereas punitive damages punish the defendant for fraud, a wrongful act that caused harm or gross negligence.
