مشہور ٹک ٹاکر اقرا ۔۔۔ جس کا ٹک ٹاک پر ایلیٹ لائف اسٹائل ، مہنگے ہوٹل

گھر دیکھا تھا اقرا کا ؟ لاش دیکھی تھی کیسے ایک چار پائی پر پڑی تھی ؟ کمرے کا فرش دیکھا تھا ؟ کمرے میں کچا فرش زمین پر بکھرے برتن دیگچیاں چمچ مرحومہ کی غربت کی چیخ چیخ کر دُہائیاں دے تھے لیکن ٹک ٹاک پر لائف سٹائل کسی ایلیٹ کلاس سے کم نا تھا ،کون لیکر جاتا تھا اتنے مہنگے ہوٹلوں میں ؟ کہاں سے آ رہا تھا پیسہ ؟ گاڑیوں میں سفر کرنا ،مخصوص محل نما کمرہ جہاں لگتا زندگی کی ساری آسائشیں ہیں کہاں سے بنا وہ فرنیچر ؟ مہنگی مہنگی گاڑیوں میں سفر ویڈیوز ، بے حیائی و عریانی کی دھمالیں ڈالی جا رہی تھی لیکن اللہ پاک کی رسی بڑی مضبوط ہے وہ کھلی رسی دیتا ہے انسان کو کہ جا کر لے جو کرنا اس دنیا میں عبادت کر ،گناہ کر ،توبہ کر ،عاجزی کر ، اللہ پاک بندے پر چھوڑ دیتا ہے کہ وہ کونسا راستہ اپناتا ہے لیکن جب اللہ پاک اپنی انسان کو دی گئی رسی کو کھیینچتا ہے تو انسان منہ کے بل اوندھے منہ ہی گرتا ہے پھر چاہے حرام موت یا جیسے بھی لکھی ہو نا توبہ کا وقت نا قبولیت کا وقت

دعا ہے پھر بھی کہ اللہ پاک مرحومہ کی بخشش فرمائے لیکن عبرت کی جاہ ہے تماشا نہیں

کچھ سکھیئیے کچھ سمجھیئے

یہ دکھاوے یہ وقتی پہناوے، لائف سٹائل سب جھوٹ فراڈ

اللہ سے سچی توبہ کریں اور خود کو عاجز انسان بنائیں ۔۔

Understanding Statutes of Limitations

In the United States, personal injury lawsuits are governed by statutes of limitations, which define how long a person has to file a legal claim after an injury. These time limits vary by state and by the type of claim, but they apply to everyone—including tourists and non-U.S. residents. Missing the deadline typically results in the loss of the right to sue.

For most personal injury cases (car accidents, slip and falls, negligence), the statute of limitations ranges from one to six years depending on the state. For example:

• California: 2 years
• New York: 3 years
• Florida: 2 years (reduced from 4 years in 2023)
• Texas: 2 years
• Illinois: 2 years

The countdown generally starts on the date the injury occurred, although exceptions exist for injuries discovered later.

Do the Same Deadlines Apply to Foreign Nationals?

Yes. Tourists and non-U.S. residents are subject to the same deadlines as U.S. citizens. The courts do not provide extra time simply because the injured party lives abroad. If you’re injured in the U.S., you must comply with the statute of limitations for the state where the injury occurred, regardless of where you live or your citizenship status.

For example:

• If a tourist is injured in a car accident in Florida, they have 2 years from the date of the accident to file a lawsuit in Florida.
• A non-resident who slips and falls in a New York hotel must file a claim within 3 years in a New York court.

Exceptions and Tolling for Non-Residents

While the law is strict, some states have tolling provisions—rules that pause or extend the statute of limitations under specific circumstances. One such exception applies to non-residents in certain states:

Non-Residency Tolling

In a few states, if the defendant (the person being sued) is not present in the state, the clock may pause until they return. However, plaintiffs (injured parties) are usually not granted extra time for being outside the country.

Discovery Rule

In some cases, if the injury or its cause was not immediately apparent (such as medical malpractice or toxic exposure), the clock starts when the injury is discovered or reasonably should have been discovered.

Legal Disability

If the injured person is mentally incapacitated or a minor, some states pause the statute of limitations until the disability is removed (e.g., when the person turns 18 or regains capacity).

Filing a Lawsuit from Outside the U.S.

Non-U.S. residents can file a lawsuit in the appropriate U.S. state court through an attorney. They are not required to be physically present in the U.S. to file a claim, although participation in depositions, hearings, or trial may be necessary later.

Key considerations include:

• Hiring a U.S.-licensed personal injury attorney in the state where the injury occurred.
• Filing before the deadline, even if you are abroad.
• Gathering evidence promptly, as delay can affect documentation and witness availability.
• Cooperating with discovery (the exchange of evidence and testimony during litigation).

Remote communication tools (video conferencing, electronic document submission) have made cross-border litigation more accessible.

Jurisdiction and Venue Rules

Tourists must generally file in the state where the injury occurred, not in their home country. U.S. courts have jurisdiction over incidents that happen on American soil, and they will expect foreign plaintiffs to follow local rules of procedure and deadlines.

Some injuries may involve multiple parties in different locations, such as a product defect case where the manufacturer is in one state, the retailer in another, and the injury occurred in a third. In such cases, jurisdiction and venue can become more complex and may influence the applicable statute of limitations.

What Happens if You Miss the Deadline?

Failing to file within the statute of limitations almost always results in dismissal of the case. U.S. courts are strict about deadlines. Even if your injury is well-documented and your case is strong, you lose the right to pursue compensation if the time limit passes.

Only very rare exceptions—such as court closures due to natural disasters or state-specific tolling laws—may provide relief, and even then, the burden is on the plaintiff to prove that the exception applies.

Summary of Filing Deadlines by State (General Personal Injury)

Always consult with a local personal injury attorney to confirm the precise deadline, as rules may change or vary based on case details.
