Personal Injury and Real Estate Law FAQs

  • How long do you have to file a personal injury claim after a car accident?

    In general, you have 3 years from the date on which the incident occurred. However, there are some nuances to this such as the discovery rule. The discovery rule means that the clock to the statute of limitations does not begin until the injury is discovered since not all injuries are clear and obvious. The 3-year clock also does not start if the injury occurred to a minor until they turn 18 years old.

  • What documents do I need for my car accident case?

    The more evidence to support your claim, the better. Gather all the documentation that you can including photos, videos, witness statements, police reports, and medical records. This will provide all the relevant information needed to achieve a more favorable outcome.

  • Will you speak to the other driver’s insurance company on my behalf?

    Yes, we will handle any communications with the insurance company and the other attorney. Focus on your health and recovery from the injuries you have sustained.

  • Why do I need a real estate attorney when I buy a home?

    An attorney will help ensure that the sale of the home is legally binding and valid. They will also help to ensure that you understand all the terms and conditions of the sale. This will ensure that the sale goes as smoothly as possible.

  • Are lead-based paint disclosures required for selling my home?

    Lead-based paint disclosures are required for homes that were built before 1978. The form includes three options: yes, no, and I don’t know. You are legally required to answer this form truthfully.
