Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims

Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims

When you're hurt because someone else is being careless, it's not easy to recover. You're hurt, and that can make it difficult to act fast. Unfortunately, you may not have time to delay. 

The statute of limitations, or time limits, on your claim may be closing in. You only have a short time to act after your injury, and if you don't act in time, the consequences could leave you paying for your injuries out of pocket. 

If you’re seeking compensation, you may need to talk to your lawyer about your claim and how much time you have to file it. Acting quickly could protect your claim and help you recover compensation. 

Time Limits for Personal Injury Claims

When you’re seeking out compensation for your claim, you have a set amount of time to act. This varies from state to state, and Utah residents only have four years to file. In some cases, you may have even less time.  If you don’t file a claim within that time, your claim will be dismissed and you’ll be barred from seeking compensation

Letting your time limit run out could be the end of your claim. That means, no matter how severe your injuries are or how expensive your recovery is, you may lose your chance to get the funds needed to recover. If you don’t have a lawyer on your side, you might be blindsided by these time limits, hurting you and your family. 

How Your Lawyer Can Help

Luckily, that doesn't have to be the end of your claim if you have an attorney on your side. Your personal injury lawyer in Sandy understands these time limits, and they understand that, in some cases, you may have to act even faster to get your compensation. 

Your lawyer can review the timeline of your lawsuit so you know how much time you have to file. Then, they can help you plan your lawsuit and your defense. Once your court date has been set, they can guide you through the preparations for your claim. 

When you’re hurt and seeking help, a lawyer may be key to acting now and moving your claim forward quickly.

Act on Time with a Personal Injury Lawyer

If you’ve suffered a major injury, acting immediately may feel impossible. Your injuries might have you bedridden, unable to travel, and struggling to overcome your pain and suffering.
