After injury, whether you slipped and fall or having an
accident, it is very frustrating and stressful. The prime concern is your
health. Keep yourself healthy after accident. After a reasonable period, you
can think about your accident “How can you get a personal injury claim?” In the
later part I will discuss about the steps to personal injury claim.
What should I do after an accident?
As mentioned earlier, the priority should be your health
after an injury. You have to do it first. After that there are some important
steps you have to consider after a personal accident. In most cases, these
steps are accepted and there is no strict order for these steps to follow.
Collect evidence of your accidents. It will indicate the
accused persons for the accidents. It will also help to measure the damage
caused by accidents. Photographs may be useful. But you can collect close
circuit video of the accidents, if possible.
Keep a note of everything that has happened after the
accident. This may include hospitals bills, medical visits, lost wages or any
financial loss you have faced. It will help to assess you loss.
Find that if there was any witness present at the time of
accidents. Collect the name and contact information of those persons. Contact
those persons and inform them about your injury. Keep a written record of your
conversation with the witnesses.
When I have to notify a person that I am going to file a case of personal injury?
There is no time limit to claim a personal accident case, if
it is against an individual or some other entity. But if it against the
government or any government agency, the procedure is different. But that does
not mean that you have to delay your claim. Act quickly and efficiently so that
you can increase your chance for your claim. If you delay that, there may be
less chance to win the claim.
However, keep in mind that even you notify people about your
lawsuit, it is not necessary that you must file a lawsuit at that time. You
notify other parties to simply ensure that you have enough time to proceed with
your lawsuit, with your own speed.
What is the time limit to file a lawsuit for my injuries?
In every situation, there is a time limit present but it may
change case to case. Gaining a victory over a lawsuit can be time consuming. So,
if you cannot do it in right time, you may not gain the compensation. There is
a saying in law books “statutes of limitation”. It means the maximum time
within that you have to bring certain lawsuit. If the actual time limit crosses
you may not get the benefit of the claim. Please check your state’s law and
statute limitation.
When should I file a claim against the government?
It is different to file a claim against the government than
against an individual. When you are claiming against the government or the
government agency, you have short time to claim a lawsuit. It depends what type
of injury you have and in which state you live in. But usually it varies from
30 days to 1 year. If you pass this timeline, you may not able to gain any sort
of compensation.
So, do you need a case review? A free case review.
Money is lost during injuries. These include medical bills
and loss of your wage. You need an attorney to help you in your lawsuit. First
get a lawyer to review your claim, without any cost. If you get any positive
result from this review, then take the next step and file a claim of your
injury or accident.
