Editorial Policy
Accuracy before certainty
State injury rules can depend on the cause of action, defendant, accrual event, notice requirement, court rule, and exceptions. When a single answer would be unsafe, we explain what must be checked instead of presenting a universal deadline or outcome.
Primary sources first
We favor current state statutes, judiciary materials, court rules, official agency guidance, and regulator pages. Secondary explanations may help readers orient themselves, but they do not replace controlling law.
Clear role and limitations
- We distinguish general legal information from advice for a specific matter.
- We do not promise a settlement, time frame, attorney match, ranking, or legal result.
- We do not claim professional review unless a named, qualified reviewer actually performed it.
- We label worksheets as organizational aids and avoid presenting estimates as case values.
Updates and dates
A material update date means the page's visitor-facing text, sources, structure, or tool was changed on that date. It is not a claim that every law in every jurisdiction was independently re-verified that day. Source blocks state when their outbound links were checked.
