About Bangor

Personal Injury Cases in Bangor, ME

Personal injury cases in Bangor, Maine's third-largest city, often involve accidents on busy roads like Broadway and Union Street, or incidents at local businesses downtown. The city's mix of college students from the University of Maine and year-round residents creates unique liability considerations. Bangor's location as a regional hub means cases may involve out-of-state drivers or companies, requiring attorneys familiar with both Maine law and interstate jurisdiction issues. Winter weather conditions also contribute to many slip-and-fall and motor vehicle accidents throughout the Queen City.

The state has a six-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, longer than most states, and Maine law requires drivers to carry minimum liability coverage of $50,000 per person and $100,000 per accident.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident in Bangor?
First, seek medical attention and call police to file a report, which is required in Maine for accidents involving injury or property damage over $2,000. Document the scene with photos and gather contact information from witnesses, as Bangor's busy intersections like Broadway and Hogan Road often have multiple witnesses to accidents.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Maine?
Maine provides six years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit, which is longer than most states. However, it's important to consult with an attorney promptly as evidence can be lost and witness memories fade over time.
How do I choose the right personal injury attorney in Bangor?
Look for attorneys with specific experience handling personal injury cases in Penobscot County courts and a track record of successful settlements or verdicts. The best Bangor personal injury lawyers will offer free consultations and work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless they win your case.
