What to do After a Recent Accident
There are several things people generally do after being involved in a motor vehicle crash. These include:
- Call 911: Drivers typically call 911 following a crash. The police officer that arrives at the scene of an accident will often draft an official police report about the details of the crash. This report will include information that may help a future claim.
- Seek medical care: If you are injured or suspect you may have been injured following a motor vehicle accident consider seeking medical attention as soon as possible. The extent of accident-related injuries may not appear right away and could worsen over time. Medical treatment can help rule out less apparent injuries and create an official record of medical care and symptoms.
- Collect information and evidence: After an accident, it is important to document contact information such as names, phone numbers, and addresses of drivers, occupants, and witnesses involved after an accident. Photographs of the scene can serve as evidence later on.
- Consult with a personal injury lawyer: After your accident, an insurance company (often the at-fault driver’s insurance carrier) may offer you a settlement that is less than you deserve. A personal injury attorney can help protect your claim and keep your best interests in mind to help ensure you receive the best outcome possible.
What is the Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury in Buffalo?
A statute of limitations is a law that sets a time limitation for bringing certain kinds of legal action, such as a lawsuit.
The statute of limitations for a Buffalo personal injury lawsuit depends on numerous factors and may be different in every situation. For some personal injury lawsuits, the statute of limitations is three years from the date of the accident. However, if an injury victim is under the age of 18, this statute of limitations could possibly be delayed. In fatal motor vehicle crashes, a representative of the deceased may choose to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. In this case, the statute of limitations is approximately two years from the date of death.
Every injury case is unique, however, and several potential statutes of limitations could apply to your case. You should not rely on the information above to determine the statutes of limitations that apply to your case. You should instead speak with a personal injury attorney who can examine your case closely.
