The Countdown To File A Personal Injury Lawsuit Begins When The Accident Occurs
Your accident left you with a lot to think about. It is easy to lose track of time when your life is turned upside down. Unfortunately, any delay in going after the money you deserve to help you recover works to the other side’s advantage.
When you are dealing with a personal injury claim, insurance companies will use any tactic to pay you less than you deserve. They’ll pay you nothing if they can get away with it. If they can frustrate and confuse you with paperwork or a red-tape runaround, that is a win for them. If they delay long enough, you can lose the right to any compensation at all.
Dealing With Insurance Companies
If you suspect that an insurance company is not doing right by you, you have the right to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Consult one of our highly-qualified, experienced personal injury lawyers to get started.

How Soon Can I File My Personal Injury Lawsuit?
You can file a personal injury lawsuit up to four years after the accident occurred. Filing a lawsuit does not mean you will have to go to trial to get compensation. In many cases, lawsuits are resolved through negotiation before the actual trial gets started. Filing a lawsuit is usually a necessity in cases where:
- The insurance company wrongfully denied your claim
- You could not reach a reasonable settlement with an insurance company
While you have four years to file, it is usually not a good idea to wait that long. The sooner you start the process, the sooner you will have the money you need to maximize your recovery.
