Feedback:
A statute of limitations is the designated time for a person to file a lawsuit. The time is typically calculated from the time the incident occurred. If the injured party is a minor, the statute of limitations sometimes does not commence until the victim reaches adulthood. Good Samaritan laws ensure legal immunity for rescuers who provide first aid in the case of an emergency to accident victims.
