Yes, there are strict time limits for making a claim in any type of personal injury or insurance claim case. What those time limits are depend on a number of factors, including: location of the accident, the type of accident, who is involved (for example there are different limitation/notice periods in accidents involving municipalities compared to private citizens). Some claims require you to take action in as little as seven days from the date of accident. In some cases, there are multiple time limits that must be maintained in pursuing your claim.
The time limits involved in personal injury cases can be quite complex and if you miss a deadline, you may be prohibited from seeking compensation for your injuries and losses, after any accident. After an accident, it is vitally important that you speak with a lawyer as soon as possible to make sure you are aware of your legal rights and what your various time restrictions might be.
Remember the lawyers and LMS Lawyers will provide you with a free consultation to review your case and help you identify any time constraints that you must be aware of.
