These are often called "discovery rules" or equitable tolling, and are very specific to each case. Your lawyer can explain these in greater detail. These cases usually settle faster than other cases.
Statute of limitations
It is essential to start a lawsuit for personal injury before the statute of limitations in your state ends. These deadlines are applicable to many types of personal injury claims, which include car accidents, medical malpractice claims. They also apply to product liability claims and wrongful death cases.
In the majority of states the statute of limitations "clock" begins to tick on the day that you were injured. However there are exceptions to this rule, which can effectively stop the clock in certain situations. The discovery rule, for instance, allows you to submit your case as quickly as you discover (or would have discovered had you taken reasonable care) the injury settlement.
In certain cases, the statute of limitations can be shortened or even tolled. For example, if the plaintiff is mentally handicapped or underage. It is best to speak with an experienced injury lawyer to determine the precise limitation period that applies to your situation. If you try to file a lawsuit after the statute of limitation has expired the court may dismiss your case. This can have devastating effects on the victim and the family members of the victim.
Damages

Other damages could be awarded to compensate for the loss of enjoyment of life or emotional distress resulting from an accident.

Special damages are usually easy to calculate, such as the cost to repair or replace damaged property or the cost of lost wages if an injury prevented you from working or forced you to take sick or injury Law vacation time. General damages can also be referred to as pain and suffering. They are more difficult to determine. Many lawyers and insurance companies employ a multiplier, like a 1.5 to 5 factor to calculate general damages. General damages tend to be higher for severe injuries as opposed to minor or short-term injuries.

During the trial, your lawyer will use evidence to show that the negligence of the defendant led to your injuries, and that the financial damages you receive are necessary to pay for your expenses and losses. The defense will make use of evidence to back up your accusations, and also to prevent them from having to pay any amount.
