BE SURE TO FILE YOUR LAWSUIT BEFORE TIME RUNS OUT

If attempting to recover compensation by suing the liable party, you will need to ensure that you file your lawsuit on time. Missing this deadline could mean the loss of your right to pursue damages.

Pennsylvania & New Jersey: accident victims have up to two years to file a lawsuit in most cases. 

In some situations, you may be able to file a lawsuit even if the usual two-year cutoff has already passed. Because of this, it is essential that you contact a personal injury lawyer even if you think you have already missed your chances of collecting damages.

At the same time, the details of a case can further restrict the amount of time an accident victim has to file a lawsuit. Instead of two years, you could be limited to a matter of months. Hiring an attorney as soon as possible after your accident will help keep you from being caught off guard by an unexpected deadline.
