Being the victim of investment fraud can be a very painful experience. However, the odds of being a victim are much lower than they would otherwise be if you know how to spot signs indicating someone may be committing a form of investment fraud. Signs to be on the lookout for include the following:
⦁ Claims that an investment has virtually no risk attached to it
⦁ Refusal to thoroughly or clearly answer questions about an investment opportunity
⦁ High-pressure sales tactics, such as suggesting you have a very limited amount of time to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
⦁ Claims that someone has insider knowledge of an investment opportunity and that you should act on it before this knowledge becomes more widespread
It can be very tempting to jump into action when presented with an alleged opportunity to make a lot of money easily with an investment. However, it’s always important to research investment opportunities thoroughly and monitor sales tactics for signs of a fraudster. An opportunity that sounds too good to be true often isn’t.

When you have suffered serious injuries in a construction accident caused by defective construction, you need to act quickly. The statute of limitations for personal injury claims is four years in the state of Florida. While this may seem like plenty of time to pursue your claim, the more time your construction accident lawyer has to build your case, the better.
Depending on when your accident or injuries occurred, the time you have left to file your claim may be limited. Your attorney needs to be able to investigate, gather evidence, speak with experts, and build your case against the at-fault party if you hope to win.
Filing your claim before the statute of limitations expires is essential. If your lawsuit is not filed before the statute of limitations runs out, the court will have no choice but to dismiss your case. This means you will have lost your chance to be awarded compensation in civil court
