These cases involve special local installation, inspection, and maintenance laws. We will prepare your case carefully to ensure you receive enough compensation.
How Long Do I Have to File My Personal Injury Claim? It’s important to act quickly. The statute of limitations, the time you have to file a personal injury claim, depends on the type of case. If you’re pursuing a negligence claim, you have a three-year time limit from the date of the accident or injury. In many cases, wrongful death claims have a two-year limit. For cases against a public entity or employee, you must file a written Notice of Claim within 90 days of the accident. Determining the amount of time you have left can be complicated.
The best time to file a claim is sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, as time goes on, crucial evidence can be lost or wear away and witnesses may no longer be available. We’ll investigate your accident quickly and thoroughly, talk to witnesses, gather evidence, consult with medical professionals, and hire experts. We’ll ease the process for you to give you peace of mind to help you focus on your recovery. Potential Damages You May Recover Depending on the nature of the accident and the severity of the injuries, you may qualify for compensation for the following damages:
Lost wages
Medical expenses
Property damage
Pain and suffering
