ATTORNEYS FOR CAR ACCIDENTS

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS ON ACCIDENTS

The statute of limitations sets a timeline for any claim that you make. This timeline starts on the day you have your accident. At the time of writing, the statutes of limitations in the locations where our offices are located are:

• Illinois – Two years from the date of the accident
• Missouri – Five years from the date of the accident
• Texas – Two years from the date of the accident

What this means is you need to make a car accident personal injury claim as soon as possible. If you leave it too late, you might be unable to make a claim. The great news is that one of our car accident personal injury lawyers can help you. Not only will they speak with you about the statute of limitations, but they will also work with you on your case. 

You do not have to deal with the aftermath of a car accident alone. At the Witherspoon Law Group, our lawyers can help you get the compensation you’re entitled to.

GATHERING EVIDENCE

If you’re involved in a car accident, and you wish to make a claim, you will need evidence. We will help you gather as much evidence as possible to support your case.

If your vehicle was damaged in the car accident, try to: 

• Take photographs of the vehicle from as many angles as possible without putting yourself in harm’s way. 
• Take photographs of the surrounding area, especially tire marks on the road, debris, damaged road signs, and anything else you think might be relevant.
• Remember what the weather was like, as it could affect the road conditions.
• Take photographs of any road signs nearby so we can determine how the other driver should have behaved.
• Get the names and addresses of any witnesses.

If your car needs to be repaired, take photographs of the car before it’s repaired. You should also ask for a copy of the bill you’re given. This is so our car accident personal injury lawyer can try to get the other driver’s insurance company to pay for the damage. 

Here at the Witherspoon Law Group, we will also talk with you about any other evidence that you might have. We will work hard to ensure you have enough evidence to back up your case. If your case ends up in court, we will show your evidence to the court. We will also work on your behalf to ensure no stone is left unturned.

INJURIES SUSTAINED DURING THE ACCIDENT 

If you or another person in your vehicle was injured, get a copy of the medical notes made by the doctor who treated you or the other person. These notes could help your claim by showing the other driver’s insurance company how serious the injuries were. 

INSURANCE COMPANIES 

We will deal with the insurance companies on your behalf. We will do this because we’re aware they will try to pay out as little as possible. Let us talk to them so we can get your side of the story across. Let us fight for you so you get the compensation you deserve.
