Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico has a one-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, generally starting from the date of injury or when it was discovered. Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently.
Do I need a lawyer for a car accident claim in Puerto Rico?
While not legally required, a lawyer significantly improves your chances of fair compensation. An experienced attorney can handle negotiations, gather evidence, calculate damages, and represent you in court if necessary.
What is the divorce process in Puerto Rico?
A divorce begins by filing a petition in the Court of First Instance. Puerto Rico recognizes divorce by mutual consent and by irretrievable breakdown, and the court addresses property division, custody, and support.
How is child custody determined in Puerto Rico?
Courts decide custody based on the best interests of the child, considering both legal and physical custody. Joint custody is increasingly common, but sole custody may be awarded based on parental fitness and stability.
