# §757.17. Statute of limitations.

- (a) **Federal.** Claims asserted under the MCRA or against an automobile liability insurer through [10 U.S.C. 1095](/usc/10/1095.md) are founded in tort and must be brought within 3 years after the action “first accrues” ([28 U.S.C. 2415b](/usc/28/2415b.md)). Normally, a medical care claim “first accrues” on the initial date of treatment.
- (b) **Claims asserted under 10 U.S.C. 1095.** Although legal arguments can be made that claims asserted under [10 U.S.C. 1095](/usc/10/1095.md) against a no-fault or personal injury protection insurer are founded in contract and can be brought within 6 years ([28 U.S.C. 2415a](/usc/28/2415a.md)), all claims should be asserted within 3 years of the date when the claim accrued. However, some states require notice of such claims to be filed within a shorter period of time.
