Procrastination in Personal Injury Cases Could Undermine Justice, Warns Attorney Paul Greenberg

​ [[{"value":"

Chicago, Illinois – In the realm of personal injury law, time is not just a healer – it’s a critical component of justice. Yet, many are unaware that delaying legal action can jeopardize their rights to compensation, as Illinois law enforces strict statutes of limitations on injury claims. Paul Greenberg, personal injury attorney at Briskman Briskman & Greenberg, emphasizes the importance of prompt action for those affected to secure their legal recourse.

The statute of limitations in Illinois sets a definitive period within which injured parties must file a lawsuit. For most personal injury cases in Illinois, this period is two years from the date of the injury. Failure to act within this timeframe can result in the loss of the right to sue and, consequently, the chance to obtain potential compensation for injuries sustained.

“This ticking clock is a factor that many people overlook,” said Greenberg. “Victims of accidents should be aware that inaction could lead to a complete dismissal of their claims, no matter how strong their case may be.” The reasons for delays can range from individuals underestimating their injuries to waiting for sufficient recovery to pursue their claims. However, Greenberg warns that even seemingly minor delays can prove detrimental.

Briskman Briskman & Greenberg has been helping injury victims and their families for over three decades. Their injury lawyers have talked to numerous victims that would have had a solid case had they promptly sought legal assistance. “We urge anyone who has sustained an injury due to someone else’s negligence to seek legal advice as soon as possible,” advised Greenberg.

While the firm acknowledges that dealing with the aftermath of an injury can be overwhelming, it also stresses the importance of understanding one’s legal rights and the limitations imposed by the law. Personal injury victims are encouraged to take timely steps to protect their interests, starting with a consultation to explore their legal options.

Greenberg reiterated, “The law waits for no one, and the best way to ensure your rights are protected is to act swiftly. The road to justice begins with recognizing the critical role of time in your legal journey.” The message is clear – when it comes to personal injury cases, inaction can be the enemy of justice.
