Time Limitations to Seek Restitution You have two years to seek restitution in a case involving injury sustained in a motorcycle accident. If a loved one was killed in a motorcycle accident, you have two years from the date the person died. Healthcare Liens for Accidents Most healthcare providers will immediately place a lien on anyone coming in that has been involved in an accident. They do this without even looking at the accident victim’s insurance policies. Although this type of lien does not apply to your wages or other income, if you receive a settlement, this money will be taken from it. A good lawyer can get this lien waived by finding:
- It was not recorded in a timely manner
- There is no statement regarding continued treatment
- There are any errors in the amounts recorded for treatment received
- There were any unnecessary treatments, or
- Treatments were received not directly related to the accident
- File official complaint
- Serve the defendant
- Confirm or deny complaint in writing
- Go to court (you may also appear)
- Provide testimony (you may also testify)
