Types of Personal Injury Lawsuits

A personal injury lawsuit is a legal dispute that arises when a person suffers harm or injury due to an accident for which another party may be legally responsible. The dispute may be resolved through formal civil proceedings in court or through an informal, out-of-court settlement.

Formal Lawsuit

The process begins when a private individual (known as the plaintiff) files a civil complaint against another person or entity (known as the defendant). The complaint alleges that the defendant was negligent in connection with the accident or injury that caused the plaintiff harm.

Informal Settlement

Most personal injury matters are resolved through informal settlement negotiations between the parties involved in the dispute. The settlement process begins as a negotiation, followed by a written agreement in which the plaintiff accepts payment from the defendant for a specific amount of money, and both parties agree to forego further legal action regarding the accident or injury.

What Is a Statute of Limitations?

A statute of limitations is a time limit imposed by law. The plaintiff in a personal injury claim has a limited amount of time in which to file a lawsuit.  If the plaintiff does not file the lawsuit within that time limit, their claim is forever barred. Generally, the time limit begins to run from the date the plaintiff was injured or became aware of the injury. Statutes of limitations vary from state to state.  Different time limitations can apply depending on the type of claim you have and on who the responsible parties are.
