legal claims. For example, you may only have cuts, scrapes, or<br />

sprains. Maybe you have other minor injuries that require relatively<br />

little medical care, resulting in a small amount of medical expense. In<br />

such cases, it is likely that no-fault insurance will cover the associated<br />

costs, and no other claim will be available.<br />

However, you might also suffer from common issues like whiplash,<br />

back pain, or neck pain in the wake of a collision. These injuries can<br />

require ongoing care such as physical therapy and chiropractic care<br />

to correct. Additionally, you might have more serious problems like<br />

broken bones, herniated or ruptured discs, or other spinal injuries. It’s<br />

also possible to sustain brain injuries or internal organ damage.<br />

In such cases, serious, immediate, and ongoing medical care may be<br />

required. Those bills could rack up quickly. You may end up exceeding<br />

the limits of no-fault insurance. If so, seeking legal recourse to recoup<br />

remaining costs is the next step.<br />

statutes of limitations for filing different legal claims. A statute of limitations is<br />

a legal deadline for a lawsuit to be commenced. If you fail to start a lawsuit<br />

within the statute of limitations period, your claim will be lost forever. Some of<br />

them are quite short, so it is essential that you speak with an attorney as<br />

quickly as possible to learn which statute applies to your case. The statutes of<br />

limitation start on the date of the accident. People who have missed the<br />

deadline commonly do not initially want to bother<br />
