What is a FedEx Truck Accident Claim?
A FedEx truck accident claim is a subset of a personal injury claim. If you choose to file a claim, you can argue that a negligent party owes you money. However, before you can make this claim, you need to prove that:- A liable party owed you a duty
- The liable party violated that duty
- The violation of that duty stemmed from avoidable negligence
- That avoidable negligence cost you money
When Should You File a FedEx Truck Accident Claim?
To take legal action against another party, you must file a personal injury claim within Indiana’s statute of limitations. This means you have until the second anniversary of your truck accident to bring your claim forward. You cannot miss this deadline if you want to move your claim forward. Indiana’s civil courts believe that evidence has an expiration date. If you try to file a claim outside of your statute of limitations, the courts can argue that your evidence no longer reflects the reality of your crash. If you connect with an attorney before your statute of limitations expires, though, you can preserve your right to legal action.What Settlement Can You Receive After Filing a FedEx Truck Accident Claim?
