Q. How soon must I file my claim?

A. The time period within which a person has to bring a claim for injuries in a motor vehicle accident varies from state to state.  The way that the time period is computed also varies.  The time period may also vary within a state depending on the circumstances of the accident, including the injured person’s age, the type of claim, the particular facts of the injury, and when the injury is discovered.  It is very important that you know the time limit for your situation, or you may not be able to get any compensation for your injury!
