Information assistant

Ask a general question about how injury claims work

An automated assistant that explains general rules in Texas, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. It is not a lawyer, it does not know your situation, and it will tell you so.

What it can help with

  • General deadlines in each of the three states, and what they are counted from.
  • How no-fault, verbal threshold and limited tort actually work.
  • What workers' compensation covers and what it does not.
  • Which mass tort litigations are currently active, and which have closed.
  • What generally happens after you contact a firm.

What it will decline to do

It will not tell you whether you have a claim, what your claim is worth, whether your deadline has passed, whether to accept an offer, or which firm to choose. Those are legal judgments about your specific facts, and answering them would be practising law without a licence. It will say so plainly rather than guessing, which we think is more useful than a confident wrong answer.

Please read before you start

This assistant provides general legal information only. It is not legal advice, it is not a substitute for the advice of an attorney, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship. What you type here is not confidential and is not protected by the attorney-client privilege. If you are in immediate danger or need urgent medical help, call 911.

Being contacted is your choice

Nothing you say to the assistant is sent to any law firm unless you separately and affirmatively ask to be contacted, choose which firm, and give consent. You can use the assistant and leave without hearing from anyone.

Hi. I can explain how injury claims generally work in Texas, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. I am an automated assistant, not a lawyer, and I cannot give legal advice. What would you like to understand?
I hurt my back at work in Philadelphia three weeks ago. Am I too late?
I can tell you the general rule, though I can't tell you how it applies to you. In Pennsylvania, reporting a work injury to your employer within 21 days means compensation generally runs from the date of injury. Reporting later usually means it runs only from the date you gave notice, and after 120 days no compensation is allowed (77 P.S. § 631). Whether any exception applies to your situation is a question for a licensed attorney, and given the dates you mentioned I would not wait to ask one.
Which firm on your list is best for me?
I'm not able to recommend a firm or say one suits you better than another, and this site doesn't rank them. Every firm advertising for your state and topic is shown to you in the same way, and the choice is yours to make.
