Sources we use
We use primary sources: state statutes and constitutions on the legislatures’ own websites, state court rules and judiciary self-help pages, state workers’ compensation agency bulletins, federal statutes and regulations (uscode.house.gov, ecfr.gov), and federal research such as NHTSA and Bureau of Justice Statistics reports. Law-firm blogs, lead-generation sites and forums are never a source of fact on this site.
How calculators are checked
Every calculator uses published, standard formulas. The code is covered by automated tests that check known answers (for example, a Florida negligence injury on March 24, 2024 has a two-year deadline under Fla. Stat. § 95.11(5)(a), so the calculator returns March 24, 2026). We show the formula next to each tool so anyone can verify the result by hand.
What we will not publish
- Lead forms, “free case review” offers, or advertising for law firms, attorneys or claim buyers.
- Predictions about a particular case, judge or insurer, or advice about what you should do in your case.
- Claims we cannot support with a source.
Updates and corrections
Each page shows the date it was last updated. Legislatures change limitation periods, small claims limits and court fees, and workers’ compensation maximums change every year. When a change is enacted we update the data, the tests and the page date, and we keep the old rule visible where it still applies to older claims. If you find an error, tell us through the contact page and we will review it and correct it.
