Personal injury lawsuits
 

A post on a thread made me think of this question. has anybody engaged in a personal injury lawsuit, and if so, how has it been? Any insights?

Mine is Work Comp, and is so far ongoing for 2.5 years, long and tedious.......employer has even denied doing somethings the Commission has already decided they should do.......so its the lawyers.

While I go through what I am going through with the evolution of my symptoms and having them to "approve" evaluations on any new developments .... which they have so far.....as well as my Neurologist directing care and referrals from "our" side.

Concussion...that sounds awful! how ironic that proving your symptoms will most certainly bring on more symptoms. Hang in tHere!

There is a lot of information online about PI Lawsuits. There are conferences focused on how to deny a concussion claim.

The best resource I have found for concussion victims who are considering a law suit is www.tbilaw.com and www.subtlebraininjury.com .

Attorney Gordon Johnson is also a supported of brain injury outreach programs.

Mokey,

Its ok, I have already gone for SSDI, and been accepted. So, that has lightened some of the load.

The problems are still evolving, and we are still dealing with everything, but now, there isn't quite the rush to judgement due to some financial pressures.

Mark, I stumbled across those links when I started all my researching on my avenues of research about approaches to dealing with the legal side of work comp/personal injury etc. and have even sent those links to my attorneys for their references , as well as many more, to update their arguments, and any of their future clients' presentations.....very good information there.

Because of my cognitive troubles, I have my emails copied to a "sent" file, so I can recall what I already sent; and whenever I find more updated information I keep a long list of links separate from my bookmarks, to assure I don't have duplicates and have a backup listing on my USB drive....and when the wife sees me reading stuff she will ask if its new and ask if I backed it up.

Just a quick question prompted by this thread: is there a statute of limitations on P.I. suits?

In most states the Statute of Limitations for PI suits is one year. In extreme cases, it can be extended if an injury is discovered at a later date.

In Canada (where I live), the statute of limitations for personal injury is two years.

In the UK a claim must be made within 3 years

In most states, the statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits is two years. In some states, such as New York, it is even longer.
