If your liver is shot or stabed how long will it take for you to bleed to death?

Quite a long time, actually - the liver really doesn't have blood vessels until you get to the veins leading to the portal vein, so unless one of those is cut you would slowly ooze to death rather than bleed to death. If the cut wasn't too deep or severe, you could actually develop a good enough blood clot within the liver to staunch the bleeding and keep yourself from dying.
