The amount of time you have to take legal action for injuries you suffered in a Philadelphia train accident will likely depend on who might have a legal liability to you. Claims against private entities may have different time limits than claims against government agencies. Before a lawyer can file a claim on your behalf, the lawyer may need to investigate the facts and circumstances of the accident to identify parties with legal liability. That can take some time, particularly in mass casualty train accidents.
Missing a deadline to take legal action means losing your legal rights to compensation, in most cases. To protect yourself, do not wait to talk to our experienced Philadelphia train accident injury attorney about how you got hurt. Seek legal help as soon as you can to give yourself the best chance of recovering the compensation you deserve.
