Every state has a statute of limitations, which is a time limit within which you must file a claim. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to pursue compensation. That’s why it’s important to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after an accident to ensure your case is filed in time. Generally speaking, the statute of limitations for injury claims in Alabama is two years. Depending on the defendant, the notice of your claim is shorter, such as 6 months. That does not mean you should wait to consult an experienced personal injury attorney, such as Shaun Capps. Anytime we are hired in a personal injury case we get to work right away. We will work hard on your case every day to help you get the best result possible. It is also important to get medical attention right away.
