Before you get to this question, it is important to understand what a lawsuit actually is.
A lawsuit is really nothing more than your formal request for assistance to resolve a dispute.
In the United States, we maintain a civil manner for resolving disputes. However, sometimes we are unable to resolve disputes on our own. The filing of a lawsuit is a request to a professional dispute resolution system for assistance.
So, back to the question: How soon should I file a lawsuit?
The filing of a lawsuit is proper when either
1) all reasonable efforts to resolve your dispute on your own have failed, or
2) when applicable time deadlines are running out.
In Arizona and all states, there are time deadlines to file a lawsuit in order to seek an orderly resolution of your dispute. These deadlines vary according to the type of case as well as the state you are in. In order to fully understand your rights, the time deadlines and whether it is the right time to file a lawsuit, you should always seek an experienced personal injury lawyer.
There are many variables that can be involved in filing your lawsuit, as well as other possible hurdles that you wouldn’t otherwise know about if it weren’t for an injury attorney.
The filing of a lawsuit should not be taken lightly. However, at the same time, you should never be afraid to file a lawsuit to seek resolution of a dispute that is important to you.
Make sure you retain the right personal injury law firm for you. Having the right one will truly make all the difference in your case. The outcome can be much different in you decide to have a law firm that is not experienced to handle your case. Always make sure you interview each law firm before finally deciding on one.
