No Relationship or Obligation Arises from Use of the Website
The law differs in every jurisdiction, and you should not rely on any opinion except that of an attorney you have retained, who has a professional duty to advise you after being fully informed of all the pertinent facts, and who is license in the applicable state, and is familiar with the applicable law. Internet subscribers, mobile application users, and online reader should seek professional counsel about their legal rights and remedies. You should not act or refrain from acting on the basis of any information found on the Website. Any actions or decisions about your legal rights should be based on the particular facts and circumstances of your situation, and appropriate legal advice from an attorney retained by you. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS TAKEN OR NOT TAKEN BASED UPON ANY INFORMATION OR OTHER CONTENTS OF THE WEBSITE.

The content and features of the Website, including means to submit a question or information, do not constitute an offer to represent you or otherwise give rise to any attorney/client relationship.
State Laws Vary
Company lawyers are licensed to practice law only within a limited number of states, but we affiliate or form relationships with lawyers throughout the United States. Company may refer prospective clients to other law firms located throughout the country, who form relationships with the Company, and are experienced in handling such cases. The Company may also undertake legal representation in certain cases, and will affiliate with other legal counsel located throughout the country to provide legal representation. The laws of each state are different. The Website contained information about general or common rules that apply in some states. The Website also contains information about verdicts or settlements in past cases. You cannot assume that the same rules apply, or that the same result would occur, in your state or any particular state.
The Statute of Limitations is especially important. Every state has laws called the “statute of limitations” which set a deadline to file a lawsuit. That means that a lawsuit filed too law may be thrown out, regardless of the defendant’s fault or the severity of the injurie. Some states have a two-year period for negligence injury claims; the time period in other states may be longer or shorter. Insurance policies, particularly homeowners insurance, may require that a lawsuit be filed within one year of a loss. Some states allows claims against government agencies, but require a written notice very soon after the accident, perhaps within three months. Because investigation and research is need to identify all possible defendants and theories of recovery, if you have an accident or injury, you should consult a lawyer as soon as possible.
