What You Need To Know In Regards To Filing Your Personal Injury Claim
There is a statute of limitations on how long from the incident you can file your claim. Each state varies in their time limits and some are shorter than others. The standard is three years though. Be sure to get in touch with a lawyer as soon as you can after the incident instead of waiting to near the end of statute of limitations. If the lawyer doesn’t have a lot of time before the claim expires, he/she may not take the case…even if you do have a claim. Besides, it’s a good idea to see your lawyer as soon as the incident takes place because the events will still be vivid in your mind. Months or years go by and your memory can be hazy. Your lawyer will need to file the right papers in court and pay the right filing fee. The papers will be served on the person, business or representative of the business you plan on suing. |
