Personal Injury Statute Of Limitations in US-AS

The federal statute governing employment discrimination claims under Title VII, codified at 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1), establishes a three-year limitation period for certain personal injury actions arising from unlawful employment practices in American Samoa. This provision sets the maximum time within which a charge must be filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, effectively serving as the statute of limitations for such claims. The verified figure of three years applies uniformly under this authority. The official source at the linked United States Code section contains the exact statutory language and any applicable exceptions. A worked example below demonstrates how this period is calculated from the alleged unlawful practice. Readers may use the calculator to estimate their own potential filing deadline based on their specific circumstances.

Governing authority

In US-AS, the statute of limitations rule is set by 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1). The verified packet cites 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section2000e-5&num=0&edition=prelim).

Deadline example

For a US-AS personal injury limitations check, use the verified limitations period from the current rule packet: 3 years. The authority packet cites 42 U.S.C. § 2000e-5(e)(1) (https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section2000e-5&num=0&edition=prelim).

Example inputs:

• Accrual date: 2024-04-25
• Filing date checked: 2026-04-25

Calculation:

• Start with the accrual date.
• Add 3 years.
• The example deadline is 2027-04-25.

This example is generated from the verified facts packet rather than freeform prose. Confirm tolling, discovery rules, and claim-specific exceptions before relying on the date.
