Common questions
Is there a deadline to take action? Time limits can apply to injury claims, and they vary with the situation. That is a good reason to speak with an attorney soon instead of waiting. Client to Law cannot tell you which deadline applies to you.
What if I was partly at fault? Fault is sometimes shared between the people involved, and how that affects a claim depends on the facts and on the law that applies. An independent attorney can explain it for your situation, so tell Airik honestly what happened.
