It’s a common misconception that personal injury law is only necessary when an accident or a permanent injury is involved. This isn’t entirely true. Here are a few times when you might consider making a personal injury law claim.

When Can You Make a Personal Injury Law Claim?

  • You receive any extent of injuries: You can make a personal injury law claim for any extent of injuries under any circumstances that were outside of your own home or fault. This includes both minor and severe physical injuries or emotional distress after an incident at work or after a collision.
  • The incident led to lost wages: You don’t need a permanent injury from the incident to qualify to make a personal injury law claim. You can file a claim for temporary injuries or distress as well if the incident led to medical expenses or lost wages.
  • Within the statutes of limitations: You have a limited time to file your personal injury law claim due to the statutes of limitations. It’s important to file your claim within this specific timeframe following your incident.
