Some states allow victims of these kinds of cases to collect interest on any compensation that was awarded by the judge until its paid off. This interest will continue to accumulate until final payment has been rendered to the plaintiff. This allows both the victim and/or his/her family to obtain the personal injury compensation at a quicker pace since defendants dont want to pay more than they have to. Potential plaintiffs of a personal injury case must know that there is a statute of limitations for filing this kind of lawsuit when trying to get compensation for injuries or deaths. If such a suit is

filed after they have run out, the court will not entertain the suit and it will be dismissed.
