Failing to file within this time frame can result in losing your right to seek compensation. It’s also important not to delay, as waiting can weaken your case significantly.

Drawbacks of waiting to file include:

  • Forgetting important details over time
  • Losing contact with witnesses or their memories fading
  • Loss or degradation of evidence critical to your case

That’s why it’s crucial to contact a legal professional as soon as possible. Our fatal car accident attorney in Portland can help you understand your legal timeline and take swift action to preserve your rights and build a strong case.
