First Step
The first step to filing any lawsuit is to consult with a qualified attorney who will carefully evaluate your claim and discuss the details of how the accident happened, the types of injuries you suffered, and gather other relevant information related to your claim. The lawyer will also inform you about important time restrictions, or the 'statute of limitations', the period during which your case must be filed. If the attorney believes you may be entitled to compensation, it is your decision whether you wish to move forward with filing a lawsuit.
