Don’t Waste Time To File A Claim After Being Injured, Webb & D’Orazio Firm Says
If one has been unfortunate enough to have been involved in a personal injury accident, there is only so much time to file a claim. If the statute of limitations runs out, the injured person no longer has the ability to receive a settlement.
Each state in the United States sets its own statute of limitations, which can vary from one to six years. Here in the Peach State, the limit is two years from the date of injury. For a minor, however, the situation is different: The statute of limitations does not begin until the minor has reached 18 years of age. That means if a youngster is injured at age 14, he or she may file to recover damages up until the age of 20.
“Sometimes after an accident, it is immediately clear whether you are injured,” said Robert Webb, of the Atlanta-based personal injury law firm Webb & D’Orazio. “At other times, it is not. It is in your best interest to retain an attorney to help you settle your claim in a timely and efficient manner.”
Personal-injury accidents can be physically and emotionally damaging so it is important to find a lawyer who shows both zeal and compassion.
When considering filing a formal claim, there are several steps that one can take to help the claim process along. Many of these actions can be taken by the injured person’s attorney, too, of course. The steps include:
•Making notes of the incident. What happened? What are the injuries? What were the circumstances and conditions surrounding the incident? When did it occur?
•Keeping evidence of what caused the accident, if possible, and taking pictures to illustrate important details about the incident.
•Taking note of important witnesses who can verify what happened and help the injured person prove his or her case. Find out how an attorney can get in touch with them at a later date.
“If you or someone you know has experienced a personal injury, you should seek the advice of an experienced Atlanta personal injury attorney who can help you seek justice for your injuries,” Webb added.
