Almost all suits for personal injury damages or wrongful death must be filed within one (1) year of the date of the occurrence. The deadline can be extended in some cases involving injured children and in worker’s compensation cases. However, you should never wait until the end of the time limit in which to file a claim or lawsuit as evidence gets stale and your testimony regarding the seriousness of the injury becomes less convincing. In addition, the defendant, whom your lawyer must correctly identify and serve with the lawsuit, may disappear. Therefore, it is our recommendation that you seek the advice of an attorney as quickly as possible.
With the exception of some insurance policies purchased by you, you are not obligated to give a recorded statement. However, if you give a recorded statement, it may be used against you later. If you chose to give a recorded statement, be sure to ask for a copy of the transcript. However, it is our recommendation that you do not give any statements to an insurance adjuster, including your own insurance company, without legal representation.
We recommend using physicians with the best credentials. Not only will you receive the highest quality care and the credibility of your claim will be strengthened, but the opinions of the doctors will influence, in large part, the value of your claim. Comply fully with all of your doctors’ instructions. If you fail to do so, the defendants can request the court to instruct the jury to reduce your damages. Never miss a doctor’s appointment. After each visit or no show, the doctor or therapist makes a written record that later will be used as evidence in your case.
