Personal injury matters involve statutory notice requirements and limitation periods that are often shorter than clients expect. This example shows how DueCounsel extracts those critical dates from a statutory notice.
NOTICE: Pursuant to the Municipal Act, you are required to serve a Notice of Claim on the Municipality within 10 days of the date you became aware of the injury, or within 60 days of the date of the accident, whichever is earlier. Failure to provide proper notice may bar your claim. A Statement of Claim must be commenced within 2 years of the date of the accident (March 15, 2026).

DueCounsel extraction output
| Extracted date | Deadline type | Action item | Responsible party | Confidence | Calendar export |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 14, 2026 (60 days from accident) | Statutory notice deadline | Serve Notice of Claim on Municipality | Plaintiff / Counsel | Medium | ICS / CSV |
| Mar 15, 2028 (2-year limitation) | Limitation period | Commence Statement of Claim or limitation expires | Plaintiff | High | ICS / CSV |
Why this matters
The statutory notice deadline (10 or 60 days) is much shorter than the 2-year limitation period. Missing the notice deadline can bar the claim entirely, even if the limitation period has not expired.
Lawyer review required
The notice deadline uses the earlier of two triggers — confirm the date the client became aware of the injury, as that may be before the accident date.
