Personal Injury FAQs
How long after an injury do I have to file a personal injury claim?
In the United States, each state has its own statute of limitations which determines how much time a person is given to file a personal injury claim. The statute of limitations for personal injury is between 2-3 years in most states, so it is crucial to act quickly to receive your rightful compensation.
If you live in either Louisiana, Kentucky or Tennessee, you’ll want to file a claim as soon as possible. The statute of limitations in those states only lasts for ONE YEAR after the injury occurred, so they provide a very short window of time.
How much money can I get from a personal injury settlement?
The amount of money you are entitled to will vary in each case. However, the cost of your medical treatment, plus the value of your lost wages and any legal fees, is a good place to start. Usually, there’s also an additional amount of money granted by the court for the plaintiff’s pain and suffering, or for punitive damages.
However, keep in mind: personal injury claims are regularly settled before they ever advance to trial, and plaintiffs are often pressured into accepting a reduced settlement offer during negotiations.
How do I prove that someone caused my personal injury?
In order to win a personal injury settlement, you and your attorney must prove that the person responsible for your injury either acted with negligence or the intent to cause you harm.
For someone to have acted with negligence, they must have owed you a certain level of care expected from an ordinary person (fixing any hazards for house guests, driving safely around others, etc.) and then failed to provide that level of care, causing your injury.
