Puerto Rico has a one-year statute of limitations for most personal injury claims, including car accidents and slip-and-fall cases. The clock generally starts from the date of injury or when the injury was discovered. Missing this deadline typically bars your claim permanently, so it is important to consult an attorney quickly.
Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. Future medical costs and diminished earning capacity are also recoverable. The amount depends on the severity of your injuries and the evidence supporting your claim.
While not legally required, having a lawyer significantly improves your chances of fair compensation. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts. An experienced attorney can handle negotiations, gather evidence, calculate damages accurately, and represent you in court if necessary.
Most personal injury attorneys in Puerto Rico work on contingency, meaning you pay no attorney fee unless they recover money for you. The fee is then a percentage of the settlement or verdict agreed in advance. Ask any attorney you contact to explain the percentage and who covers case costs if there is no recovery.
Get medical attention first, even if injuries seem minor, and keep all records. If police responded, obtain the report. Photograph the scene, your injuries, and property damage, and collect names and insurance details of everyone involved. Avoid giving recorded statements to insurers or discussing fault until you have spoken with an attorney.
Early offers frequently come before the full extent of your injuries and future treatment costs are known, and accepting usually means signing away the right to claim more later. It is wise to have an attorney evaluate the offer against your documented damages before accepting anything.
