statute of limitations

You’ll need to file insurance claims within a few days of your accident. State laws allow specific timeframes if you need to file an additional personal injury or wrongful death claim. If you don’t file your suit within the allotted time, the courts will likely dismiss it, and you’ll lose the opportunity of receiving compensation.

Any claim against government agencies — only one year after the accident or death date

Personal injury cases — four years from the accident date in most situations

Wrongful death — two years after the death date

Your personal injury lawyer from Siegfried & Jensen will correctly file before the statute of limitations for your particular case expires. Preparing a claim takes time, so be sure not to wait too long to hire an attorney to represent you.
