Here are some important facts to know about personal injury cases.

There is a time limit to file your personal injury claim – for the majority of personal injury cases, you have a 3-year window (from the time the injury occurred) to file your claim. 

This period may vary with different states in the U.S. One exception to this is when the injured victim is a child. In such a case, a claim can be made immediately but the 3-year window doesn’t start until the child is 18 years old. 

Proving negligence is not easy – It is not easy to prove that another person is responsible for the victim’s injury, which makes professional legal representation a very important consideration.

While plaintiffs argue that their injuries were exceptional and the direct result of the defendant’s negligent action, defendants would seek to minimize the degree of injury or try to put the blame on someone else. 

To ascertain the extent of a plaintiff’s injuries, the plaintiff will be asked to provide documentation of the injuries, physician visits, prescriptions, surgeries and other types of medical necessities alleged in the complaint. 

Sometimes, plaintiffs may be required to disclose even sensitive personal information. To review medical records, personal injury attorneys typically utilize medical record review services. 

They work hard on behalf of their clients to obtain fair settlements for lost wages, medical expenses, and pain and suffering.
