S 8809: Relates to the time frames for certain court filings

S 8809 establishes strict, tiered time limits for filing third-party lawsuits in civil cases. Defendants must file third-party claims within 60 days of serving an answer, with subsequent filers having progressively shorter deadlines (45, 30, and 20 days). The bill generally prohibits filings more than 90 days after serving an answer without court approval, except for workers' compensation cases where the deadline extends to 120 days if employer identity or grave injury details were unknown. This directly affects defendants seeking to add new parties to civil lawsuits, aiming to prevent delays through repetitive third-party filings.
