Time Limits
After an accident, you have a limited amount of time to take legal action. If you are pursuing compensation for your injuries the statute of limitations is five years, meaning you have five years from the date of the accident to file your lawsuit. If you have lost a loved one and are pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit the statute of limitations is only three years.
If you must sue the government, you have a very short amount of time to give notice of your intent to sue. It depends on which government entity you are suing, but you could have as little as 30 days. This could come about for several reasons such as in accidents caused by defective roadways or accidents where the at-fault driver was a government employee.
Damages
When you have been seriously injured, the consequences can affect you for the rest of your life. Over time, your needs may become far more expensive than you have anticipated. That is why it is so important to demand full and fair compensation from the very beginning. You can receive compensation for your economic and non-economic damages including:
- Existing and future medical expenses
- Home health care
- Long-term care
- Rehabilitation and therapy
- Custodial care
- Special equipment and home modifications required as a result of your injuries
- Existing and future lost income
- Lost earning capacity
- Physical pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Diminished quality of life
- Loss of consortium
