Questions About Personal Injury Law
Serving West Virginia and Ohio, including Parkersburg, Charleston, Morgantown, Huntington, Wheeling, Belpre, and Athens
How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
If you have been injured due to the negligent actions of another, you may have a personal injury case. You will want to speak with one of our Ohio and West Virginia personal injury lawyers in an initial consultation to discuss the details of your case. We will assess your damages and the actions that brought on the damages in order to determine the best way to proceed.
How long do I have to file a lawsuit after I suffer a personal injury?
That depends on the state you live in and the events that caused your injury. Statutes of limitations vary by state and by the type of claim being filed. It is important to file your personal injury claim before the statute of limitations expires to ensure that you receive the compensation you deserve. The lawyers at Jan Dils & Jim Leach, Attorneys at Law are familiar with the statutes of limitations governing claims in Ohio and West Virginia, and we will make sure these important deadlines do not expire before you file your claim.
When should I contact a personal injury lawyer?
Contact a personal injury lawyer right away to best help with your personal injury case. Contacting a lawyer as soon as you can will help make sure you do not miss the deadline for filing your case. Over time, accident scenes are altered and witnesses may not remember the events as clearly. You will need a lawyer right away to ensure the evidence is still intact. If you wait to hire a lawyer, you compromise your lawyer's ability to get the necessary evidence to file and prove your case.
How long will it take to settle my personal injury case?
That depends on the specifics of your claim. While we will always try to settle claims whenever possible to avoid protracted litigation, there are occasions when a settlement is not possible. In these instances, a trial may be necessary to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve. Cases that are settled before trial will resolve much more quickly than claims which require litigation.
Please contact our Ohio and West Virginia personal injury lawyers if you have been injured by the negligent actions of another.
