Did you know that you have up to two years after an accident or injury to file a lawsuit? This is known as a statute of limitations. By giving plaintiffs plenty of time to think about the injuries, they often file less, protecting defendants and employers from frivolous or unnecessary lawsuits. And while filing a lawsuit may be necessary, your actually better off working with an insurance company first. Interestingly, Las Vegas personal injury lawyers like law professor Thomas Main say that shorter time limits—like the one-year span in states like Tennessee, Kentucky and Louisiana, “tend to backfire because people often feel rushed into taking legal action after perceived wrongdoing.” In these states, more lawsuits are filed, though not necessary successfully. For many people considering filing a personal injury lawsuit, insurance payout may actually be a better, practical solution, depending on the circumstances of the injury and assets of the defendant. But sometimes a lawsuit is absolutely necessary. #lasvegaspersonalinjuryattorney
