Construction accident statute of limitations involves complex timing for workers’ compensation and third-party claims. Workers’ compensation notice requires informing employers within 30-120 days depending on state law. Compensation claim filing typically allows 1-3 years from injury or last benefit payment. Third-party claims against contractors, owners, or manufacturers follow general personal injury deadlines. Most states allow 2-3 years for negligence claims from injury date. Product liability for defective equipment may have different deadlines or repose periods. Discovery rule rarely applies to traumatic construction injuries with immediate manifestation. Occupational disease from toxic exposures may trigger discovery rule extensions. Minor injured workers receive tolling until majority age for their claims. Government project claims require shorter notice periods, often 60-180 days. Federal project claims under Miller Act have specific notice and filing requirements. Multiple defendant scenarios require tracking various deadlines while pursuing compensation. Continuous employment may affect workers’ compensation timing for repetitive injuries. OSHA complaint deadlines differ from civil claim limitations. Understanding timing complexities ensures preserving all compensation rights while navigating dual systems.
