Should I Give A Recorded Statement After A Car Accident?

How Long Do I Have To File A Personal Injury Claim?

In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is two years. Ask an attorney whether your case’s time limit involves any exceptions to this rule. More importantly, get your case underway in plenty of time for your law firm to develop compelling arguments on your behalf to present to claims adjusters, a jury or a judge.

Do I Have A Bad Faith Insurance Claim?

Your health, life, auto or another insurance company who should have paid for treatment or compensated you after an injury may be guilty of insurance bad faith if that company did not follow the terms of its own policy. If you believe that an insurance company has acted in bad faith, take steps to prepare for legal action. Contact an attorney. Document your interactions with the insurance company. Ask the insurer for clarification in writing as to why they have denied or delayed payment of benefits you should have received by now.

Should I Accept The Insurance Company’s Settlement Offer?

If you receive a quick settlement offer from the insurer after you have been injured in an accident, beware! Get legal counsel before signing anything or cashing a check. Chances are that the offer is woefully below what you deserve. It’s wise to consult with an attorney and discuss your case prior to accepting any offer.
