If you have suffered a personal injury due to no fault of your own there is a likely chance that you have an opportunity at recover. However, it is important that you contact Lamar Law Office, LLC to discuss your car accident, slip and fall, dog bite and injury case as soon as possible. The longer you wait the harder or less opportunity you may have to recover.

All states have laws limiting the amount of time a claim can be brought against the insurance company. The length of time is determined by the legislator in your state. These laws are known as statutes of limitation (SOL). For most car accident cases in Georgia, the statute of limitations (SOL) is two years after the date of the collision.

However, waiting two years to bring an automobile collision or slip and fall claim can be disastrous for your case. It is important to hire an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence critical to your claim. This can include preservation of witness statements, surveillance cameras and proper photographs of damage to the vehicle. Furthermore, certain claims can limit the amount of time permitted to bring the claim. An example are claims against government entities. There are laws that require earlier notice be provided to these entities. Additionally, certain types of claims require that the insurance company have knowledge of the claim shortly after the collision or fall. An example would be claims that can be brought against your own insurance firm, known as Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Claims, usually require that the insurance company be allowed to have thirty to 90 days’ notice.

At Lamar Law Office, LLC we realize that when a tragedy occurs it gives no warning and many are unprepared. The devastation of being out of work, without a vehicle or unable to do your normal day to day activities can cause financial hardships. Under Georgia Bar rules Attorneys and Law Firms cannot give funding to clients.

Rule 1.8(e) of the State Bar clearly explains the limitations placed on attorneys when it comes to loaning money to a client. Lawyers can’t provide financial assistance to their clients, except that they can advance court costs and litigation expenses, making the repayment of those costs contingent on the case’s outcome. An attorney can also pay the court costs and fees on behalf of the client, if the client is unable to cover the costs him or herself. In order for a fee to be contingent, the agreement must be in writing and needs to state the way that fee is determined, including the percentage paid to the attorney after settlement as well as any other expenses that need to be paid.

However, there are pre-settlement funding companies that may be able to offer assistance.

Disclaimer: "Contingency fees" refer only to fees charged by the attorney. Court costs and other additional expenses of legal action usually must be paid by the client. Contingency fees are not permitted in all types of cases.
