If you’ve been injured, you should consult an attorney as soon as possible. If you miss the window for filing your case, the opportunity is closed to you forever.

Personal injury claims must abide by federal and state and local laws, including tort laws and statute of limitations laws. Personal injury law is often considered a legal specialty and consulting with a qualified attorney to represent you in your case is recommended.

If you are hospitalized, and unable to seek out legal counsel on your own, you can request a consultation in your hospital room or in your home. Additionally, a close friend or family member can also seek legal counsel on your behalf while you are recovering from your injuries.

Observing the statute of limitations is one of the most important steps you can make in filing your claim. Consult a qualified legal professional for more detailed information about how the statute of limitations applies to your case.
