FAQs - Answers

8. What is the statute of limitations in a franchise case?

The statute of limitations is generally speaking, the time period within which a lawsuit must be brought or be forever barred. Many of you may be familiar with the statute of limitations in a personal injury case. In California, for example, a person injured in an automobile accident has two years from the date of the accident to sue or their claim will be forever barred. In franchise cases, the statute of limitations will be dependent upon and differ for the specific causes of action that are being claimed. Virtually every state will have set forth statute of limitations either generally or in specific laws. Depending upon the state you live in, you will need to check what the statute of limitations are with respect to your particular claims. Franchise laws have differing statutes of limitation and each law must be considered on its own and according to its own terms. An experienced franchise attorney can help you determine the applicable statute of limitations.

One of the most important things you can do when consulting an attorney, is tell them about when you became aware that you were injured on account of the franchisors conduct. You may have the best franchise lawsuit in the world but if you do not file before the applicable statute of limitations ahs run, it will be worthless.
