Personal Injury Attorney Ballwin

It depends on the type of injury.

You must either have your case resolved (settled) or have a lawsuit on file before the "Statute of Limitations" expires or you will lose your rights to receive money for a personal injury case. There are some things that can extend the statute of limitations, such as if you are a minor or under certain types of disabilities. In addition, if the claim is against a government (federal, state, county, city or local), a political subdivision (such as a public school) or an employee of either of these, there are other requirements that must be performed within a specified time period or you will again lose your rights to collect any money. Most Statute of Limitations begin on the date of the incident causing a person a personal injury. You do not indicate the type of personal injury case you are asking about. For some cases the statute of limitations is only one (1) year while in others it might be 2, 3 or 4 years or possibly even longer. Most car accidents involving private citizens have a four (4) year statute of limitations. Malpractice cases are usually 2 years. However, circumstances may change these statute of limitations. I would strongly suggest contacting a personal injury attorney to discuss your case. Most offer a free initial consultation and you can find out the statute of limitations for your case and whether there might be other requirements that shorten or may extend the time you have to file a claim.

West Virginia law provides that you have two years to take legal action (i.e., file a lawsuit) against responsible individuals and companies, including insurance companies, to seek compensation for the damages (i.e., your injuries and losses) you sustained in the auto collision. If your child is injured in a collision, your child will have two years from the date of adulthood to file such claim. Waiting until your child is an adult, however, creates a significant loss of evidence you will need to prove your child's claim. For adults, if you do not file a lawsuit within the two-year statute of limitations period, your claim will be forever time barred. Two years may sound like a long time from now, but believe me, it is not when considering all the things that must be done to secure your legal rights against the responsible parties. Every day that you wait to seek legal counsel equates to a loss of opportunity to obtain full compensation for your injuries. In reality, it is the first 60 to 90 days following your auto collision that will make or break your case. It is within this shorter time period that necessary evidence and testimony must be secured, treatment rendered and medical opinions obtained. If you wait until after this time period has passed, and you have not developed your claim properly, it will make the job of even a good lawyer very hard to obtain a full recovery for you. Worse yet, if you wait until close to the two-year statute of limitations period to consult with a lawyer, it is almost guaranteed that your claim will be compromised. It is somewhat like getting cancer diagnosed early your chances of improvement are greater the earlier the diagnosis is made. So, don't wait to get your legal claim diagnosed by a qualified lawyer.
