Question:

I had an accident about 4 months ago that I settled with the other driver outside of court. He was at fault. No injuries were incurred, just fairly mild to moderate vehicle damage. Now my back and neck is starting to hurt and I’m seeing a chiropractor to treat some injuries I didn’t even know that I had. Is it too late to file a claim?

 

Answer: (1)

Which state do you live in? The personal injury statute of limitations on filing a claim varies by state to state, but most are generally at least 2 years. Thus, given 4 months is a fairly short amount of time, you may still file a claim and would definitely want to hire a Personal Injury Attorney in doing so.

If you have been involved in a car accident and need to file a claim in order to earn a settlement for your injuries, contact a Car Accident Attorney.
