Statute of Limitations for Personal Injury Claims
Most personal injury claims must be filed within a limited window of time after an accident, often just a couple of years. Missing this deadline can permanently bar you from recovering compensation, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after you are hurt to confirm the deadline that applies to your case.
Many states, including where we practice, also follow a modified comparative negligence rule: if you are found to be more than 50 percent at fault for your own injury, you cannot recover damages, and if you are 50 percent or less at fault, your award is reduced by your share of fault.
How Mandelbaum Barrett PC Approaches Your Case
Our attorneys build every personal injury case around the facts, the medical evidence, and what our client actually needs to move forward. We investigate thoroughly, work with medical and financial experts, and negotiate aggressively with insurance companies, while preparing every file as if it will go to trial.
That approach has produced meaningful results for our clients, including a $1,250,000 settlement for a client injured in a rear end collision and a $475,000 settlement for a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. Past results do not guarantee a similar outcome in any future case.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?
Most personal injury claims must be filed within a couple of years of the accident, though some cases, such as claims against a government agency, have shorter deadlines. Contact an attorney early to confirm the deadline that applies to your case.
What if I was partly at fault for my accident?
Many states allow you to recover damages as long as you are not more than 50 percent at fault, with your award reduced by your percentage of fault. The exact rule depends on where your case is filed, so an attorney can confirm how it applies to you.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
We handle personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no upfront legal fees. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
What compensation can I recover in a personal injury case?
You may be able to recover medical bills, lost wages, future care costs, and pain and suffering, depending on the facts of your case.
How long will my personal injury case take to resolve?
Timelines vary based on the severity of your injuries and whether the insurance company is willing to negotiate fairly. Some cases settle in months, while others take longer if a lawsuit is needed.
Do I need to go to court for my injury claim?
Most personal injury claims settle before trial. Our attorneys prepare every case as if it will go to trial, which puts us in a strong position to negotiate a fair settlement.

CAN HELP YOU
Suffering a serious injury due to someone else’s negligence can be a life-altering experience. Beyond the physical pain and emotional trauma, victims often face overwhelming medical bills, lost income, and disrupted lives. During this challenging time, having a skilled personal injury attorney can make the critical difference between struggling financially and securing the compensation needed for recovery and stability.
Our personal injury lawyers are dedicated to representing clients throughout the region, leveraging our local presence and knowledge to help those harmed by someone else’s negligence.
At Mandelbaum Barrett PC, our personal injury attorneys bring decades of experience to each case, combining legal knowledge with compassionate client service. We understand how to effectively handle a wide range of personal injury claims, including the following:
Collisions involving cars, trucks, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians account for many serious injuries. These car accident cases often result from driver negligence, including distracted driving, speeding, impaired driving, and failure to follow traffic laws. Our personal injury lawyers have extensive experience investigating these incidents, identifying all potentially liable parties, and building compelling cases for maximum compensation.
Sharing the road with trucks is an everyday occurrence for drivers, but when a truck driver, truck company, or other party neglects their responsibilities and causes an accident, the consequences can be life-altering. If you suffered injuries in a truck accident due to someone else’s negligence, getting a lawyer’s help allows you to focus on recovery without the weight of the legal process and dealing with insurance companies on your shoulders.
A routine trip to the grocery store, a restaurant, or work shouldn’t end in serious injury. But a slick floor, uneven pavement, or a falling object can turn an ordinary day into a nightmare—leaving you with medical bills, lost wages, and a long road to recovery. If a property owner, business, your employer, or another party caused your injuries, you have the right to file a claim and pursue compensation with the help of our experienced lawyers at Mandelbaum Barrett PC.
