Is there a statute of limitations on personal injury claims from an auto accident?

I live in Wisconsin, if that matters.

1. Ask your auto insurance agent. That is something he is paid to know.
2. Yes. It varies from state to state, usually between 2 and 4 years. Your agent will know what it is for Wisconsin.
3. Personal injury actions must be brought within three years of the date of the injury in Wisconsin.
4. You have to settle or file suit within three years if you are collecting from the other drivers insurance. If you are making a claim to your own policy under the Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury (UMBI) or coverage then under WI statute 893.43 you have six years.
