From simple automobile accidents to complex medical cases, resulting in lesser injuries to death, competent legal representation is vital to your claim.

How do you know if you have a personal injury claim? In the simplest of terms, you must have been injured by the negligence of another. A person acts negligently when they fail to act as a reasonably prudent person would in the same situation. In certain circumstances, negligence is not the proper legal standard, such as in strict liability or intentional tort cases. Contact a personal injury attorney to help assess your claim.

Once you are confident you have a claim, the expected outcome should be weighed against the expected cost, both financially and emotionally, before moving forward.

How soon do you have to act on your claim? There are time limits, called statutes of limitations, which put deadlines on how long you have to file a complaint. In general, you have two years from the time of your injury, or the time when you knew or should have known of your injury, to file a complaint. It takes time to fully review a claim, so contact an attorney as soon as possible.

What do you receive if your claim is successfully settled or litigated? You will receive financial compensation for your economic (eg. lost wages, medical bills) and non-economic damages (eg. pain and suffering).
