About this site
Disclaimer
Why the site is general information, not legal advice, and what that means for you.
General information, not legal advice. Talk to a licensed attorney in your state.
Quick answer
General information, not legal advice. Talk to a licensed attorney in your state. Nothing on Accident Claim Facts creates a lawyer–client relationship, and no page or tool can tell you what your claim is worth or which exact deadline applies to you.
Not legal advice#
The guides, tables and tools explain how car accident claims generally work in each state. Legal outcomes depend on facts and on law that can change. Before you act, or decide not to act, on anything you read here, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.
No lawyer–client relationship#
Reading the site, using a tool or contacting us does not make us your lawyer. We are not a law firm and do not represent anyone.
Deadlines#
Filing deadlines can be shorter or longer than the general rules we show, for example for children, for injuries discovered later, or for claims against government bodies, which often need written notice within months. Do not wait until a deadline is close to get advice.
No outcome promises#
We do not estimate settlements or promise results. Any figures on the site describe laws or public statistics, not what your claim may be worth.
Advertising#
Ads on the site, including any from law firms, are paid advertisements. We do not endorse advertisers. See the advertising disclosure.
Questions people ask
Can I rely on the deadline tool?
Use it as a starting point only. Confirm your deadline with a licensed attorney in your state.
Is your information about my state current?
Each state page shows when it was last reviewed. Laws change, so check the official source we link and speak to a lawyer.
