Personal Injury

When you have suffered from a personal injury, you are often bombarded by conflicting messages from well-meaning friends and loved ones. Phrases such as, "You should sue!" are in direct opposition to those who caution, "Just let it go." In the end, you're left wondering how to proceed.

In the meantime, you're dealing with the pain and change in lifestyle that resulted from your personal injury. Though you'd love to "move on", you realize that you can't. But you are also confused. After all, you see advertisements for personal injury law firms all over the television, in magazines, and on the back of your phone book. But which one should you contact?

Personal Injury Statistics

Individuals are hurt through negligence or maliciousness every day. In fact, an American Worker Safety Survey issued at the end of May, 2006, by the National Safety Council cited the following personal injury statistics, some of which may surprise you.

Personal Injury Statistics Example #1:
In answer to the question "I am concerned about the risk of [blank] affecting me and my family", respondents noted they were worried about the following: serious illness (77%); natural disasters (59%); violent crime (59%); unintentional injuries (55%); and terrorism (52%). From this data, we can assume that the category of "personal injury" could cover many of these concerns. (For instance, a violent crime or a serious illness could certainly result from a personal injury.)

Personal Injury Statistics Example #2:
The study also notes that "national [personal injury] statistics show that far more unintentional-injury deaths and nonfatal injuries occur in and around the home than in the workplace." Ironically, those who responded to the survey felt safer in their own homes, considering it the safest place for them to be. This may be one reason that so many personal injuries occur in non-work-related settings; ostensibly, individuals' "guards" are down in those environments.

Personal Injury Statistics Example #3:
When considering the types of injuries they felt were most likely to occur, respondents ranked the following injury events in this order: transportation injury; overexertion; falls; contact with sharp objects; struck by or against person/object; burns and fire; and poisoning. However, according to American personal injury statistics, the actual rankings are a bit different: falls; transportation injury; overexertion; struck by or against person/object; contact with sharp objects; poisoning; and, finally, burns and fire. This shows that individuals may not correctly perceive what could cause them the most harm.

Personal Injury Statistics Example #4:
When asked about their recent injury experiences (whether related to self or someone they knew), 29% of respondents said they had some kind of personal injury experience.

These personal injury statistics shed light on the fact that although most United States citizens are aware of the possibility of personal injuries, they may not truly understand the proliferation of personal injury events.

Personal Injury Statutes of Limitations

If you've been hurt in an accident or possibly from a deliberate action, you may have considered filing a personal injury claim or lawsuit. If that's the case, it's very critical that you seek the assistance of an attorney immediately, because each state's personal injury statutes of limitations vary. This means that you might be out of luck if you wait too long to sue.

If you're not familiar with personal injury statutes of limitations, never fear. They are easily explained:

Personal injury statutes of limitations set the maximum amount of time that you are allowed under state or federal law to take legal action regarding an alleged incident of personal injury. And because personal injury statutes of limitations may differ depending upon the state in which you live, it's important to get up-to-date legal advice on your personal injury case.

Though the notion of personal injury statutes of limitations might appear to make life more difficult for the person against whom an injury occurred, they are actually very logical. Basically, because personal injury statutes of limitations set a deadline for claims to be made against alleged perpetrators of crimes or negligence, the courts aren't jammed by forty-year-old personal injury lawsuits. After all, imagine that you experienced a slip and fall in 1978 and wanted to file a claim in 2001 - that's 23 years later. Finding witnesses could be impossible, and your memory of the incident would likely be cloudy.

Personal injury statutes of limitations ensure that all personal injury victims have a better chance of obtaining a settlement, because the occurrence happened relatively recently, and not in the distant past. They are also better for those on the other side of personal injury claims, because those individuals' or companies' recollection of events is also fresher.

Because you're probably not certain of the personal injury statutes of limitations for your locale (and that's okay and to be expected), we encourage you to contact our law offices without delay. We specialize in personal injury cases all across the country and can provide you with knowledgeable, current advice and representation no matter what kind of personal injury negatively affected your life (or the life of someone you love.)

Best of all, if you choose to have us represent you, we'll ask for nothing until we get the restitution you deserve. But remember - make sure you call soon, lest the personal injury statutes of limitations in your region run out.
