About

Claim Journal is an independent educational website about U.S. personal injury law. We explain how injury claims, insurance, fault and filing deadlines work in plain English, and we link to the statutes, courts and government agencies that our articles rely on.

What we are, and are not

• We are an information publisher. We are not a law firm, we do not give legal advice, and we do not create attorney-client relationships.
• We do not run a lawyer-referral service, accept payment for referrals, or promise any result in any case.
• Laws differ by state and change over time. Our articles are general information, not a substitute for advice about your facts.

Who writes and reviews

Each article names its author and shows the date it was last reviewed. Author details and qualifications are described on this page: add the real names, roles and relevant experience of the people who write and review your content here. Do not list credentials that are not accurate.
