When you are injured, or a loved one is fatally injured in a motorcycle collision, you might be eligible for financial compensation. If you decide to file a lawsuit to recoup your financial damages, certain time limits govern how much time you have to do so:
There are exceptions that could shorten the filing deadline of your lawsuit, such as the involvement of a municipality. Additionally, other factors may alter the time period, including when the injured party is a minor. If any circumstances apply to your case that might extend the deadline, our team will make you aware of them. Our goal is to make the timeline work in your favor and ensure compliance with the applicable statute of limitations.
