The short answer is yes, you should care because it’s going to affect the statute of limitations on your claim. It’s important to define what a political subdivision is that way, you know where your claim lies.

A subdivision is city, county, villages, schools, certain administrative agencies. All those are treated under the act differently. Now, if you do sustain an injury or an accident with one of those individuals that I’ve named, then you have one year from the date of your injury to file a written notice, written claim to that subdivision. If you don’t, then your claim is forever barred. Read More

That depends on you, specifically in regards to the length of time it takes for your injuries to improve, how long it takes to get to a point where we can reasonably determine what your future looks like, what additional medical care you require, the cost of such medical care and what permanent restrictions or impairments you have.

The answer to that is almost universally no. The reason for that is the insurance companies like to get in early and offer you a lowball offer in the hopes that they can get you to sign a release of liability waiver. Once that happens, you’re out of luck.

The reason that they send these lowball offers is because you haven’t had a chance yet to properly evaluate your claim. You might still be treating, you might need future medical. There’s also the possibility that you’ve been permanently damaged and you need a doctor to assess that. Read More

Maximum medical improvement or MMI is the point in your injury where you’re about as good as you’re going to get which means you’re not likely to get much better and you’re not likely to get much worse.

It doesn’t mean that you’re all the way better and so for that reason, maximum medical improvement is the point at which your permanent disability benefits are determined. Read More

In order to answer that question, we have to know the specific facts of your case. A lot of factors go into the value of a workers’ compensation case.

First of all, money benefits that are paid to you are based on your wages before the accident. That amount is used then to determine both your temporary disability benefits and your permanent disability benefits. Read More

Yes, it can. In order to modify a child custody order, you have to show what’s called a material change in circumstances.

Now, simply stated what that means is something has to happen. An unanticipated change that if the judge or the parties knew about it when they made the original order, they would have decided differently. Read More

Well, it depends on two things.

First of all, who are you suing and second of all, what are you suing them for? If it’s just general negligence and you’re suing a private person or corporation, it’s four years from the date of accrual of the claim or the date of the accident. Read More
