How do I know if I have a case?
You do not need to make this decision on your own. Consult a plaintiff lawyer to review your situation in detail. We can help you understand what you might expect to recover, based on the facts of the accident and Alabama law. In most situations, a case is made when someone acted carelessly under the circumstances and caused your injuries. Applying this standard is more complicated than it sounds, however, which is why it is important to consult an attorney.
Do I have a case if I do not feel hurt?
Yes. There are several reasons you may not feel hurt at the accident scene. The biological response to a traumatic situation like an accident sends a rush of adrenaline through the body, which can temporarily reduce sensations of pain. Significant discomfort, pain or other issues may emerge over time. Even if the accident does not leave you with immediate, excruciating pain – the smart move is to see a doctor.
How long do I have to file a personal injury case?
This depends. The statute of limitations – or deadline – varies from state to state for various categories of claims. Alabama has a time limit of two years to file a personal injury case, but other states may run from one to four years. The type of claim, location, and type of defendant are all important factors. It is essential to understand the statute of limitations in your state and the state where the alleged wrongful conduct took place. Don’t accidentally waive your rights. From a practical standpoint, you should consider a claim as soon as possible while evidence is still fresh. Your ability to prove liability and scope of damages will improve. The best bet is to seek legal advice promptly.
