Statute of Limitations
In most cases, you have only three years from the time of your injury or discovery of your symptoms to make your claim and file suit. There are exceptions, which is why it’s important to seek the advice of an experienced permanent injury attorney. Sometimes, certain notices have to be sent to the responsible party in writing in 30 days or within six months, so do not delay in seeking legal advice.
If your serious injury was caused by the negligence of another person or entity, we can make a claim on your behalf. You are entitled to damages for the pain and suffering you endured, past and future medical bills, lost wages, reduction in earning capacity, permanent loss of function and disfigurement. Additionally, your legal spouse is entitled to loss of consortium compensation for loss of your assistance, guidance, counsel, companionship and sexual relations during your recovery.
