How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit?

The statute of limitations for personal injury cases varies by state. It is best to contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible after the injury occurs to make sure you do not miss the deadline.

What is negligence?

Negligence is the failure to exercise reasonable care and can lead to injury or harm to another person. For a successful personal injury case, the defendant must be proven to be negligent.

Can I still sue if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes, you may still be able to sue for damages even if you were partially at fault. This is called comparative negligence and the damages awarded may be reduced based on the percentage of fault attributed to the plaintiff.

What is a statute of limitations?

How long does a personal injury case take to settle?

The length of a personal injury case can vary based on the complexity of the case and whether or not a settlement is reached. Some cases may be settled quickly, while others may take several months or years to resolve.

How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?

The Joshua E. Palmer Law Firm fight to win. Typically, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only receive a percentage of the compensation awarded if you win your case. If the case is not successful, you are not responsible for paying our fees; however, depending on the severity of the case, we require a consultation with our clients. From this consultation, you will be fully aware of all associated fees for your unique case.
