In most states the statute of limitations is 3 years. If she was marked at fault and she is sueing you, then she has a fool for a lawyer.  Turn the papers over to the insurance company you had at the time of the accident. You are nothing more than a witness in the insurance company's case.  they will call you if they need you.\n\nEven if she does win, you don't pay the insurance company does.

Dont' wait until statute of limitations runs out...\nWhy is the reason a lawyer won't help? Were there witnesses? Was it reported to the store manager? Was it cought on store camera? Were there immediate pictures of the injury? Call any lawfirm in your area or get the yellow pages, or internet searches on personal injury lawyers.  Someone must be interested in handling the case.

The statute only specifically mentions insurance companies and lawsuits for injuries generally have a 6 year limitation. It is unclear from the statutes if it s possible to sue someone whose insurance did not cover an accident, especially if the person did not properly request payment from the insurer. I would speak to a lawyer about it.

If you are making a simple complaint...then you can do so at anytime. \n\nIf you intend to make a claim for injury or loss, then it depends on which jurisdiction you live as there are time limitations in making a claim...however, I have never heard of anywhere having a limitation of like 2 months..I'd say you'd have at least a year no matter where you are.

In Pennsylvania, intentional torts are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. 42 Pa.C.S.A. § 5524 \n\nHowever, I do not see you have a case.

I believe 3 years is the limit. There are plenty of lawyers around, though, who might try another angle. I can't understand why\ninsurance is not paying for ongoing trauma - there is no limit on\nthat unless you got a settlement and signed off. Good luck

Ernie, why on Earth should this person go to that law firm if the verdict was for the defense?  This gal asking the question is seeking to be a plaintiff.\n\nIn any event, were you hurt in the accident?  If not then you don't have a lawsuit.  If you were hurt, go to any reputable personal injury lawyer in your area.  You don't need someone who's done a tanning bed case.  This is basic personal injury law.  Go to www.martindale.com to find a listing for lawyers in your area.

It was an accident.  File it under insurance.

I would definitely file suit of negligence and pain/suffering.  I'm not at all a sue happy person but this is the last respectable thing you would think a person could have and it gets messed up?  I don't think so!!  I would think there would be a licensing board to file a complaint with as well.

Two years is actually fast in legal terms to conclude a claim.  Usually, the carriers pay quickly to close the file; I'm fairly positive your attorney will receive the Joint Tortfeasor Release and Indemnity Agreement within a few days of the agreed upon settlement.  After you have signed the documents, the carrier cannot "take" the money "back" unless you somehow obtained it fraudulently.

If you had a burn that caused medical bills, you might have a claim. You could probably provide them with documentation, and work it out through their insurance. Court is the last resort.

As i said before get a solicitor and he will look at all the information you have.Sounds to me the solicitor will sue them for negligance.I had a bad fall 7 years ago down a pot hole right outside the bus stop when i was getting off a bus.I had to have a operation to repair a main ligament which came off the lateral side off my ankle.In plaster cast for 6 wks,then physio for 2 mths.The council admitted lybility and i was offered £24,000 which i accepted.Also the council payed all expensies for the operation in a private hospital,physio treatment.You have a strong case here and sounds to me you will be awarded if won alot more then me as i have not goune through all what you have,also all the operations you have had to recieve,and off course your age.Good Luck

Section 340.5 of the Code of Civil Procedures states that an action must be commenced within 3 years of the injury or 1 year of when a person reasonably should have or did discover the injury, whichever is first, unless "(1) upon proof of fraud, (2) intentional concealment, or (3) the presence of a foreign body, which has no therapeutic or diagnostic purpose or effect, in the person of the injured person." Further, if the injured party was a minor, they have 3 years or if under 6 at the time of injury, until 8 or three years, whichever is longer. This limitation does not begin if the parents and/or insurer commit fraud or collude to fail to bring an action on the minor's behalf.

Unfortunately, no you cannot re-open such a case, not without new evidence. The best you can do is go after your lawyer, but it probably won't help a whole lot.  Very valuable lesson is to be learned here- you were so young when it happened- you body had many changes to go through yet and with Firestone's record, you should have had a clause put in the settlement (or not settled at all) that future consequences of the accident could be claimed.
