General information only — not legal advice.
If someone else's negligence or intentional act caused your injury, you likely have a case. The key elements are: duty of care, breach of that duty, causation, and damages. A consultation with an attorney can help you understand your options.
Most personal injury attorneys work on contingency, meaning you pay nothing upfront and they only get paid if you win. The typical fee is 33-40% of your settlement or verdict. There's no financial risk to you.
The deadline to file varies by state and case type, typically ranging from 1 to 6 years. Some situations (minors, government defendants) have different rules. Consulting an attorney early ensures you don't miss your window.
