Is there a time limit to filing a personal injury claim?

The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit is normally 2 years.  There are exceptions.  Some exceptions are when filing a lawsuit against state or local government.  To find out what exceptions may or may not apply,  please seek consultation from a legal professional.
