I met with a potential client a few days ago regarding a personal injury accident that had happened nearly 3 years prior. In fact when I met him he was 9 days from expiration of the statute of limitations. After meeting the gentlemen, I had to declined to accept the case. Normally, I would not meet this close to an expiration of the limitations. However, my office always accommodates when a former client referrs a friend or family member as a matter of policy. Prior to finishing the meeting I had the potential client execute a notice of limitations to be sure he acknowledged the time frames for filing suit and the consequences of not filing suit. I declined the case not so much due to the limitations period, which was a significant issue, but also due to the intensity of his demeanor in proclaiming his damages. It was a very odd contradiction that a person would wait 3 years post accident with no more then soft tissue injury and now be outraged at the damage he suffered. Not that he was not truthful. In any event, I came upon a list of the difficult cases many personal injury attorney look at twice before accepting. Red/Light Green/Light cases, lane change cases, slip and fall cases, delayed treatment cases, client ticketed cases, low property damage cases, uninsured vehicle cases, and pending personal injury cases from prior accidents.
