Statute of limitations
In most cases, victims have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. However, the clock may start later or pause in some situations.
Negligence
Victims must prove that their injuries were caused by another person's negligence, recklessness, or other legal fault.
Comparative negligence
Victims may still be eligible for a settlement even if they were partially at fault.
Punitive damages
If the injury was caused by particularly egregious actions, the victim may be awarded punitive damages.
Spouses and families
If the injured person dies, their spouses and families may be eligible for compensation.

Gathering evidence
An attorney will help gather evidence to support the victim's claim.
Sending a demand letter
The attorney will send a demand letter to the liable parties, outlining the claims and requesting a settlement.
Negotiations

Trial
