Console & Hollawell

Deadlines known as statue oflimitations limit the amount of time

you have to file a claim. In NewJersey and Pennsylvania, the law

states that you have two years afterthe accident. The law allows minorsto file a claim up to two years after

their eighteenth birthday.

STATUE OF LIMITATIONS FORMINORS

Don't wait for the Statute ofLimitations to Approach

Although there is no rush to meet the deadlines, youstill need to have a good attorney before the child'stwentieth birthday. The best thing to do is to hire alawyer right away. If the accident is serious, the child

will need medical care that is expensive. Hiring alawyer will give you a peace of mind that your child's

case is in good hands, giving you more time andenergy to put into a healthy recovery.

 If your child is suffering due to medical malpractice, it is veryimportant to find the help the child needs. It is important to

protect your child from getting taken advantage of and loosingtheir rights, especially if the injuries are permanent or affect the

child's future.  If the injuries are permanent, protecting thechild's legal rights is crucial. Although a lawsuit doesn't have to be

filed until two years after the child's 18th birthday, it is best tostart the process as soon as possible.
