Q: I had a slip and fall accident at walmart in agusta ga in 2010 but a couple years later i started having legs pain bad
Can i sue for long term effect of pain and suffering
A:
The passage of time here could present challenges. It sounds like the accident occurred eight or nine years ago. In general, injury claims tend to be based on findings and symptoms that materialize soon after an accident, and in general across the nation, jurisdictions have statutes of limitations that serve to contain the right to bring lawsuits within a limited time span after an accident. Many personal injury attorneys offer free consultations. You could gather your medical records and consult with an attorney in Georgia to learn if anything can be done, given the passage of time.
