What is the name of your state? West Virginia
My statute of limitations is up in less than a week. I don't have an attorney, but wish to file a lawsuit (other than in small claims court) to protect my interests. I am in talks with the insurance company now and we may or may not reach a settlement. I have two questions that I hope that you can help me with. Thank you.
1). What steps do I take to file a lawsuit without an attorney? I am not really interested in small claims court because it doesn't even cover my medical bills. Which court do I file in?
2.) I do not have time to hire an attorney before my statute of limitations is up but wish to get the services of an attorney as soon as possible. Is it reasonably possible to find an attorney to represent me after I have drawn up my own papers and filed the lawsuit? In other words, is it possible to find an attorney who would 'touch' it after this?
I want to thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely,
Samantha
