Statute of Limitations checker
Free, no signup. Look up filing deadlines by state and case type.
What it does
The Statute of Limitations checker tells you the general filing deadline for a type of legal claim in a given state — for example, how long you have to file a car accident claim in Texas, or a breach-of-contract claim in Ohio.
Cost and access
This tool is free and does not require an account. It's a public reference tool — Caseworth makes it available even in the small number of states where consumer chat and full reports aren't offered (see "Where Caseworth works"), because knowing a deadline is time-sensitive information everyone should be able to check.
How to use it
Select your state and the type of claim, and the checker shows the general deadline and the statute it's based on. Deadlines can be affected by details specific to your situation — when you discovered an injury, who the defendant is, and other factors — so treat the result as a starting point and confirm your actual deadline with a licensed attorney, especially if it's close.
