Statute of Limitations
Maine imposes a 6-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims (14 MRSA § 752) — one of the longest in the nation. The state follows an at-fault insurance system with modified comparative negligence under the 50% bar — a plaintiff who is 50% or more at fault recovers nothing. Minimum liability coverage is 50/100/25, among the highest state minimums in the country. Maine's generous SOL should not encourage delay, as evidence degrades and witnesses become harder to locate over time.
