How long will it take to resolve my case?
The timeline for resolving a personal injury case varies depending on factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of your injuries, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases may be resolved in a few months, while others can take several years. Your lawyer can provide a more accurate estimate based on the specifics of your situation.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Our firm work on a contingency fee basis, which means they only get paid if you receive compensation through a settlement or court award. Typically, the fee is a percentage of the compensation you receive. This fee arrangement allows clients to pursue legal action without upfront costs.
What should I do if I'm injured in an accident?
If you are injured in an accident, take these steps:
- Seek medical attention immediately, even if your injuries seem minor.
- Report the incident to the relevant authorities, such as the police or property owner.
- Document the scene by taking photos and collecting contact information from witnesses.
- Avoid discussing the incident or admitting fault with anyone, especially insurance companies, until you’ve consulted with a personal injury lawyer.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases are settled out of court through negotiations with insurance companies or the opposing party. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your lawyer may recommend going to trial. Your lawyer will prepare your case thoroughly and advocate for your rights in court if necessary.
How do I choose the right personal injury lawyer for my case?
When selecting a personal injury lawyer, consider:
- Their experience and track record with cases similar to yours
- Their reputation and client reviews
- Their communication style and willingness to answer your questions
- Their fee structure and how they handle costs
- Your comfort level and trust in their ability to represent you effectively
