Q: How can I find out if my lawyer re filed our lawsuit before statute of limitations ran out?

A:
To find out if your lawyer refiled your lawsuit before the statute of limitations expired, start by directly contacting your lawyer. Ask them for specific details about the filing date and request any documentation or confirmation they have regarding the refiled lawsuit. Lawyers are obligated to keep their clients informed, so they should provide you with this information promptly.
You can also check the status of your case through the court's online case search system if available in your jurisdiction. Many courts offer online portals where you can look up case information using your case number or party names. This can give you immediate access to the most recent updates on your case.
If you're unable to reach your lawyer or find the information online, consider contacting the court clerk's office where your case was filed. Provide them with your case details, and they should be able to tell you the current status of your lawsuit and whether it was refiled within the required time frame.
