How long after a car accident can you make a claim for it?

 

Herb: In North Carolina you have three years to file a lawsuit based in negligence or you’ll be forever barred from doing so.  The sooner you file the claim, the sooner the insurance company can set up the claim, get a copy of the police report, speak with the other driver, speak with their insured, and assign it to a claim rep.  If it’s a Thursday and you wait until Monday, that case may not get assigned to someone until Wednesday.  Then they have to speak with their insured and investigate before putting you in a rental car and looking at your vehicle.  If you do it the Thursday before, you might have your rental car property damage claim moving by Monday.

So a lot of it has to do with whether or not someone needs their car fixed or needs a rental car.  If you don’t, it’s probably no rush.

The list of prior client settlement results and client reviews/testimonials, do not constitute a promise of any particular result in any particular case, as each and every case is unique. Each case was handled on its own merit, and the outcome of any case cannot be predicted by a lawyer or law firms past results.

If a recovery or settlement by trial is made, the client will be responsible for costs advanced in addition to attorney fees. Client remains responsible for costs, expenses and disbursements, including medical bills, within the scope of representation. The attorney’s contingency percentage will be computed prior to the deduction of expenses from the total recovery.
