- Broken bones
- Cuts and bruises
- Burns
- Neck injuries, including whiplash
- Traumatic brain injuries, including concussions
- Tendon and ligament damages
- Blindness
The deadline to file a Lake Grove Lawsuit
New York has adopted deadlines for the filing of a lawsuit known as the statute of limitations. These deadlines vary from one case to another, depending on the circumstances. For a personal injury case, a plaintiff has three years from the date of the injury to file a claim. However, when an injury is fatal the victim’s estate will only have two years to appoint a personal representative and file a lawsuit.
The consequences of missing the statute of limitations are significant. If a plaintiff files suit after the statute of limitations expires, the court has the right to dismiss the case with prejudice. You could lose out on recovering compensation for a viable injury claim. One benefit of working with a Douglas & London personal injury attorney is having our assistance with keeping up with the statute of limitations.
No fee unless we collect
We understand the financial pressure that comes with a severe injury. At Douglas & London, we refuse to add to that pressure for our clients. That is why we only recover a fee on your case if we are successful. If we are not able to get you the compensation you deserve, you will owe us nothing. There are never any up-front fees, and we are transparent about our contingency rate from day one.
