Mari was in a car accident nearly a year, can we sue? A little over a year since my husband was riding home w / a co-worker, he commutes with. They were in a cab and ended the back by a woman in a big pickup truck on a highway in Utah. She has been cited in the accident. My husband and the driver went to the hospital after, not by ambulance, after their return I made him go to British Columbia, he said his neck ached. The radiographs showed signs of whiplash and gave him pain medicine. Since then he has been a lot of back pain and he really made his life in British Columbia, he can not really participate in recreational activities, as he used to say now flag football, basketball, golf, painless and we travel often and it is always uncomfortable pain. We have always traveled a lot and he never had pain before the accident to aircraft, etc.
Do we have a case? What are our options? If we can continue, how can we find the right kind of attorney? Thank you for your help!
It depends on the state you are in. Each state has its own deadlines. In California, the limitation period is usually two years now, with some exceptions that make it shorter. Your condition may be shorter.
You should see a lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case and your options.
It is true that accidents happen, but people have insurance for a reason. There has not heard of feelings to have. If you do not collect the money damages that will just stay in the bank account of the insurance company!
The reality is that in law the word "accident" has no meaning. There is no such thing as an "accident". At least one person, or more, must have done something they should not have been the cause of the accident.
different states have different resources. In California, the status bar has a list of reference organizations that can help you find a lawyer. In addition, local bar associations have referral services. The best way however is to ask people you know for a referral.
Most states have a statute of limitations two years on personal injury lawsuits. You need to contact a personal injury lawyer. Look in the telephone directory, lawyers injuries are a dime a dozen. Most of them will take your case on a contingency (if they do not win if you do not pay anything) base. It will really help you, if your husband has been further medical help since the accident.
So, you want someone else financially ruined? It was an accident! I'm sorry to all that your husband is hurt, but ruin someone else because it is not right, right, and probably not possible.
There are limitations. A year is it generally. If you waive your right to appear in court at the hearing, then you are basically screwed.
Good luck
California, there is a one-year statute of limitations. Better check.
