Arabic car accidents lawyers in Boston — Arab attorney near you

The statute of limitations varies by state, typically ranging from 1-6 years, with most states allowing 2-3 years. However, waiting to file can hurt your case as evidence disappears and memories fade. Additionally, claims against government entities (like city buses) often have much shorter notice requirements of 30-180 days. Contact an attorney immediately to ensure you do not miss any deadlines.

Our Arabic-speaking car accident lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront and nothing unless we win your case. The typical contingency fee is 33% of the settlement if resolved before trial, or 40% if the case goes to trial. All case expenses are advanced by our firm and only repaid from your settlement. If we do not win, you owe us nothing.

You may still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Most states follow either "comparative negligence" or "contributory negligence" rules. In comparative negligence states, your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault and your damages are $100,000, you would receive $80,000. Only a few states bar recovery entirely if you share any fault.

Car accident victims may recover several types of damages: (1) Medical expenses - past and future medical bills, rehabilitation, therapy; (2) Lost wages - income lost while recovering and future lost earning capacity; (3) Pain and suffering - physical pain and emotional distress; (4) Property damage - vehicle repair or replacement; (5) Loss of enjoyment of life - inability to participate in activities you enjoyed; (6) Punitive damages - in cases of extreme negligence like drunk driving. An experienced attorney ensures all damages are properly calculated.

Almost never. Insurance companies' first offers are typically 2-5 times lower than the case's actual value. These offers are made before you know the full extent of your injuries and are designed to close your claim cheaply. Once you accept a settlement, you cannot ask for more money even if your injuries turn out to be worse than expected. Always consult an attorney before accepting any offer.

If the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may still recover compensation through: (1) Your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage - required in many states; (2) Your underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage if the other driver's limits are insufficient; (3) A lawsuit directly against the at-fault driver, though collecting may be difficult; (4) Your collision coverage for vehicle damage. An attorney can help identify all available sources of compensation.
