Hi Kyle, thanks for asking! A statute of limitations sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit. Most of the time, the clock begins to run from the time an injury occurs. In California, an auto accident victim generally has two years to file a claim. If the injury was not discovered right away, then it is 1 year from the date the injury was discovered if the delay in the discovery was reasonable. Keep in mind that there are a number of scenarios which bring their own set of statutes of limitations or exceptions into play. For instance, claims against certain government agencies require that an auto accident victim file an administrative claim against the agency within 6 months of an incident in order to preserve your right to file suit. If you have any questions regarding your claim, please contact us immediately for a free consultation.

Hello Marcela, of course we can handle your truck accident case! It is important to note that truck drivers are required to observe numerous safety regulations, including placing underride guards and reflective tape on big rigs to help prevent auto accidents. At Unidos Legales - Personal Injury Lawyers, we will research whether all relevant laws and regulations were followed by both the truck driver and the owner of the truck, as negligence is no excuse for causing serious injuries to innocent victims. Contact us immediately for a free consultation.

Humberto this is a very important question. We are seeing people deny obvious liability and their insurance companies gladly go along with it. It creates an unfair situation for my clients. Ahh---but, there is good news! It is not what the insurance company says---it is what the law says that counts. We frequently fight denied or disputed liability cases---that's what a dedicated law firm should do. If necessary, we will file a court case and fight like heck. Sometimes, we even have to go to trial to prove our client's case. Here is the important fact--- the insurance companies know which law firms are not afraid to fight. They take advantage of the firms that are too afraid or too cheap to file a law suit and litigate. They also know which firms will take them to trial. Can you guess which firms get better settlements from the insurance companies? You are right! Good luck, Barry
