Statute of Limitations govern the amount of time an individual has to file a lawsuit against a defendant for a personal injury. The time period starts to run from the date of the accident. States differ in the length of time allowed by the Statute of Limitations. In certain instances the time to file initial legal papers could be even shorter than the Statute of Limitations (if for example), a municipality or the government is involved.

If I could go back in time, I wish I would have met Evan sooner. I had lawyers before, but never like Evan Ross. He treats every client with privacy, respect and like family. If you ever need legal advise, Evan is your man.
Many thanks to Evan Ross for his professional, courteous service. Finding a good lawyer is not easy, I highly recommend this company.
I work closely with Evan Ross, who is a tenacious and skilled advocate. His efforts and dogged litigation style results in insutance companies paying significant sums to his injured clients. Further, their staff is helpful, knowledgeable, and pleasant to deal with. I strongly endorse Evan Ross and look foorward to my continued relationship with the firm.
This firm operates with integrity and came through for my family. Evan and his staff provided constant communication, keeping us up to date throughout the entire process... and most importantly they kept every promise they made to us. My grandfather was retired for many years when he was injured at a supermarket. Evan is not only a phenomenal litigator. him and his staff are also wam, caring and compassionate. They fouht hard for my Grandfather to get him more money that expected and they delivered.
My mom was struck by yellow taxi back in 2016, she was severely injured. I had the good fortune of being referred to Evan Ross by an acquaintance who had been represented by him in an auto accident. I am happy to say that my mom's case settled recently for much more than we expected and she did not even have to appear in court. We are very grateful to the staff and to Mr. Ross for his unwavering support during this very troubling period. I highly recommend this firm.
I can't thank enough Evan Ross and his amazing staff for their professionalism, cortesy, honest, itegrity and hard work. My lawyer went above and beyond to deliver the results we'd hope for, and more. They truly care about ther clients. I give them 5 stars and highly recommend this firm. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
As a defense attorney I have had the privilege of opposing Evan many times in the past 20 years. I can say with certainty he has the rare ability to be a formidable adversary and a zealot advocate for his injured clients while still practicing law like a gentleman. That combination has allowed him to obtain the highest verdicts and settlements possible for his clients.
My family has used Evan for as long as I can remember. He is one of the best personal injury attorneys we have came across. I cannot recommend Evan more. He is kind, caring, and compassionate with me every time; his attention to detail and response times with updates on my cases always left me feeling impressed. Thank you Evan!
