Prepared To File In Any State

Baum Hedlund is Prepared to File Suit in Any of the 50 States

It is important to decide in which state it is most advantageous to file the lawsuit, i.e., which state will allow the injured person or decedent's family to obtain optimum compensation for their losses. Often a claim may be filed in one state which will apply another state’s damage laws. You should ensure your attorney is familiar with the multitude of states’ laws and choice of law rules, and is willing and able to conduct your case no matter where it is filed or which laws apply.

Statutes of limitations vary from state to state. A statute of limitations is the amount of time you have to file a personal injury or wrongful death claim/lawsuit, usually between one and three years, depending on the state, and usually much shorter if a governmental entity is involved. Because we represent clients in every state, we stay abreast of the personal injury and wrongful death laws and statutes in every state. Baum Hedlund has represented clients in every state in the United States and from countries on five continents.

Settlements and Trials

Whether we take truck cases to trial or settle them, we at Baum Hedlund always do what is in the best interests of our clients. Some clients prefer to have their case resolved before trial while others desire to have their case resolved at trial.  Regardless of the final outcome, we feel that preparing for trial as the ultimate eventuality best protects and promotes our clients interests.

Attorneys Fees and Costs

If you or a loved one is a victim of a truck accident, call Baum Hedlund at (800) 827-0087 or submit your case. Any initial consultation with our firm is free of charge. If we agree to accept your case, we work for a modest contingent fee percentage of the gross proceeds received through settlement or verdict. Our firm provides for all costs necessary to aggressively litigate each phase of the case. In all cases, if there is no recovery, no attorneys’ fees or costs are owed to our firm. We believe we are able to offer a more reasonable fee than most other attorneys because of the quantity of wrongful death and serious personal injury cases we handle nationally and the large amount, therefore, of similar work we have already done.
