Your Right to Sue

Do you have the right to file a lawsuit after an ice cream truck accident? Yes – you could have grounds to sue. Whether you were injured in an auto accident, bike accident, or pedestrian accident involving an ice cream truck, you could have grounds to file a lawsuit. The right to sue is based on the concept of negligence, since all drivers on the road (including ice cream truck drivers) have a duty towards all other people on the road. When these drivers breach their duty of care and contribute to an accident, then they can be liable for the harm that resulted from the accident. What does this mean? If you or a loved one suffered injuries in an ice cream truck accident, you could have grounds to file an injury lawsuit.

What is the Average Value of Ice Cream Truck Accidents?

If you are thinking about filing an ice cream truck accident claim or have already started the legal process, you might have many questions about the possible value of your claim. There are many different factors to consider. These factors include the severity of the injuries sustained in the accident (the necessary treatment and the expected recovery time), the victim’s earning history, and the mental/emotional toll that the incident had on the victim, for example. In general, claims consisting of minor injuries and full recoveries tend to be worth under $150,000. Claims with more moderate injuries can be worth up to $350,000. Claims consisting of severe injuries that require more extensive care and a longer recovery time can be worth about $750,000. Claims consisting of injuries that result in permanent harm or in disability can sometimes reach and even surpass the million-dollar mark.

Of course, the possible value of your claim will also be based on the insurance coverage of the ice cream truck. Depending on the policy limits, the value of your claim could be reduced.

The Statute of Limitations for Ice Cream Truck Accidents

All injury claims are subject to a statute of limitations. The statute of limitations determines the total length of time that claimants have to file their claims. If claimants fail to file their claims on time, then they can lose the right to file a lawsuit entirely. Because of this, it is essential that you seek legal assistance as soon as possible.

How long do you have to file your ice cream truck accident claim? In general, personal injury claims are subject to a two-year statute of limitations. This means that claimants have only two years to file their claims. Of course, exceptions apply. If the incident involved a child, specifically, then it is important to note that if parents decide not to file a lawsuit on the child’s behalf, then the statute of limitations will be tolled until the child turns eighteen years old. In other words, the injured child will have two years after turning eighteen to file his or her lawsuit.

For more information about the total length of time that you have to file your ice cream truck accident claim, do not hesitate to seek legal assistance. Our lawyers can evaluate your current situation and help you file your claim on time.
