Personal Injury FAQs
How is the value of a personal injury claim determined?
The value of a personal injury claim depends on various factors such as the severity of the injury, length of treatment, emotional distress, and lost wages. The attorneys at Silva Santos PC evaluate all factors in a personal injury claim to ensure clients understand the damages portion of their claims.
How much time do I have to make for a personal injury claim?
The “statute of limitations,” which establishes the maximum amount of time that a person has in any state to file a lawsuit following an offense, is the legal deadline. The right to pursue damages may be lost if the filing is not made within this time frame. In most cases of personal injury in Massachusetts, this statute of limitations is three years. Shorter timeframes, including thirty-day to two-year notice requirements, are possible in certain cases but you should always consult a personal injury attorney to understand your options.. The period of time it takes to identify an injury or its cause may also be prolonged by the “discovery rule”. In order to protect your rights and gather evidence, it is imperative that you speak with a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible.
