Most areas of law do require an individual to file their personal injury claim under a specified time frame. This "statute of limitations" can vary by state, age of the complainant and type of injury sustained. Sometimes the statute of limitations may not begin until the injury is discovered rather then when the injury actually occurred.
It is always important to discuss the statute of limitations for your particular injury with a qualified personal injury attorney.
Typically your attorney is paid only if you win your personal injury case and you receive compensation for your injuries. This means if you do not recover damages then you will not be charged a fee. Many attorneys must also pay for expenses upfront if your case goes to trial, so they will be reimbursed those costs from the amount you recover. It is important to discuss all payment details with the attorney you hire.
