When it comes to filing a personal injury claim, time is always of the essence. That’s where the firm of Pater, Pater & Halverson Co. comes in. From estate planning and wills to personal injury cases, their team in Hamilton, OH has you covered in a variety of legal areas, and their attorneys are dedicated to making sure you know exactly what your rights are in any given case. 

Work incidents (such as slip and fall accidents), car crashes, and defective product injuries are all examples of afflictions that fall under the legal heading of “personal injury.” So how do you know when it’s time to submit a claim?

Pursuing your case right away is almost always advisable, as most states have statutes of limitations when it comes to filing. For one thing, you must be able to prove that your injury is the fault of another person or party's negligence, and that requires compiling evidence; for instance, if you slipped on a wet floor in a building lobby, you’d need to document that, and make sure you had the medical records to prove you were injured.

Witness testimony can also be crucial in such cases. Successful personal injury claims will cover the costs of present and future medical bills, so it’s best not to wait until those bills have piled up and you’re struggling under a mountain of debt.
