Yes, there are many time limits within which to file your claim. This area of the law is complex. For example, in a worker's comp claim, an employer should generally be notified of a work-related accident within 45 days. Personal injury cases against most governmental agencies must be filed in court within one (1) year of an accident, but "notice" dates to the governmental agencies can be as early as six months from the accident. In general, most personal injury cases must be filed in court within two (2) years of the accident. We receive calls each year from victims of accidents who have let the "statute of limitations" expire because they were not aware of the deadlines. Again, since there is no charge for determining these important deadlines, so please contact our office to learn about your options as soon as possible.

If we accept your case, we will handle it on a "contingency" basis. If you do not recover money damages, we do not charge you for our services. Our fees are contingent upon you recovering money damages. Also, all cases involve litigation costs, which are your costs and which are different than attorneys' fees. We advance those costs on your behalf while processing your claim. The attorneys' fees and your costs will be deducted from your settlement proceeds when the case is resolved.
