If you or a loved one has been injured at the hands of another individual or company, there are 3 important reasons you should not wait to consult with a personal injury lawyer.

1. Statute of Limitations; Legal Time Limits that Can Block Your Case
2. Evidence Disappears
3. No Fees Unless You Win Your Case

Statute of Limitations (Legal Time Limit)

Personal injury cases have a statute of limitation - a time limit for bringing a legal claim against the person or company who caused you injury. If you don't file your case within the applicable statute of limitations, your case will be barred.

If your case is barred, you won't be allowed to file suit and you won't receive financial compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, loss of consortium, and the like.

While injury related statutes of limitation usually range from 1 to 4 years, they vary greatly from state to state. It's in your best interests to consult with a personal injury lawyer licensed in your state to find out how much time you have to file.

Evidence (Disappears)

Evidence is always best preserved as close to the time of an injury as possible. The further away from an event, witnesses have trouble remembering what they saw and heard and physical evidence can disappear.

As soon as a personal injury attorney accepts your case - and perhaps even before - he or she will investigate your case to determine what happened, potential causes of action, possible defenses, gather evidence, figure out what your case is worth, and whether the defendant will actually pay if the jury finds in your favor.

No Fee (You Have Nothing to Lose and Everything to Gain)

You actually have absolutely nothing to lose by consulting with and hiring a personal injury attorney. You only pay attorney fees and expenses if you win your case. If you don't receive financial compensation, you owe your PI attorney nothing at all.

Plus, case evaluations are done at no charge and no commitment.

Where to Find a Personal Injury Lawyer

You are welcome to use our free and private website, Attorneys.ORG, to find and select a personal injury lawyer. In addition, if you have a loved one, who has had a good experience with a PI attorney, you can ask for a referral. Lastly, the local bar association likely has a list of lawyers.

Free Case Evaluation

If you or a loved one has been injured by an individual or a company, you may be able to recover for your losses and pain and suffering. Be sure to consult with a qualified person injury attorney ASAP to make sure that your case is not blocked by the statute of limitations and evidence is not lost. Your case evaluation will be free and at no obligation.

And, for a bonus reason, to consult with a PI lawyer ASAP: You'll have increased peace of mind and will be able to focus on your own healing as soon as you do. The sooner, the better. Best of luck.

Yes or no.

• Yes, you may be deported if your arrest waives a red flag to an unauthorized immigration status.
• No, just being arrested (or even convicted) of DUI or DWI is not grounds for deportation in and of itself. If you have a legal immigration status, you may not be deported for a DUI arrest or conviction.

If you are an illegal immigrant and you've been arrested for drunk driving, it's imperative to consult with both a DUI defense attorney and an immigration attorney.

How hard is Beyond a Reasonable Doubt to Prove?
Though the question, "How hard is beyond a reasonable doubt to prove", is case specific, we'll answer the question. To find out how hard it is to prove reasonable doubt in your specific case, you must consult with a qualified criminal defense attorney and share all of the facts the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Reasonable Doubt is a Touchdown
We'll jump on the bandwagon and use a sports analogy one that most Americans would understand.

The prosecutor (aka district attorney or attorney general) must show the jury that all of the elements of the crime are present and that the accused is the one who committed that crime - beyond a reasonable doubt.

In other words, the prosecutor must get the ball all the way to the goal line and no one watching the "game" can reasonably think that it wasn't a touchdown.

Difference between Reasonable Doubt and Preponderance of Evidence

Reasonable doubt is the standard used for all criminal cases and preponderance of the evidence is the standard for civil cases. If reasonable doubt is a touchdown, then preponderance of the evidence is merely getting the ball to the 51st yard line.

• A criminal case is brought by the public (via the prosecutor) against someone who is thought to have broken a criminal law.

Examples would be the DA charging and prosecuting an individual for murder, rape, computer fraud, identity theft, arson, spousal abuse, or child neglect.

• A civil case is a legal wrong other than a contract for which there is a legal remedy. More simply put, it's a non-criminal case, brought by the injured person or her family, such as a car accident or medical malpractice claim.
• Bottom Line:
  • Touchdown. Beyond a reasonable doubt. Criminal case. The ball must be to the goal line.
  • 51st Yard Line. More likely than not. Civil case. In a civil case, the plaintiff's attorney must only get the ball only to the 51st yard line to prove the case the ball doesn't need to be anywhere near the goal line.
