Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after an injury accident?

Seek medical attention first (creates medical record). Take photos of accident scene, injuries, and property damage. Get witness names and contact info. File police report if vehicle involved. Contact a personal injury lawyer within days - evidence disappears quickly. Don't sign anything from insurance companies before consulting attorney.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

Mexico's statute of limitations for personal injury is generally 2 years from accident date. However, gathering evidence and building a strong case takes time. Contact a lawyer within weeks of the accident. Waiting reduces evidence availability and settlement leverage. Tourism-related accidents may have shorter filing windows.

Will I have to go to court?

Most personal injury cases settle before trial through negotiations with insurance companies or defendants. If settlement fails, court proceedings in Mexico can take 1-3 years. Your lawyer handles all court appearances and paperwork. Trials are decided by judges (no juries in Mexican civil courts). Strong cases often settle to avoid trial costs.

Can tourists file injury claims in Cozumel?

Absolutely. Foreign tourists injured in Cozumel can file claims against Mexican parties or businesses. Many hotels, tour operators, and rental car companies have insurance. Your lawyer can pursue claims even after you return home. Keep all receipts for medical expenses, travel changes, and lost vacation costs - these are compensable.

What compensation can I receive?

Mexican law allows recovery of medical expenses (past and future), lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and permanent disability damages. Compensation levels are generally lower than US/Canadian standards. Settlements range from $50,000 MXN for minor injuries to $500,000+ MXN for serious injuries. Your lawyer maximizes recovery based on your specific case.
