Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Injury Law and Litigation
Do I need a Lawyer?
No matter what kind of accident you have been involved in, you should get a competent legal opinion on your rights and responsibilities that were affected by your accident.
Is a lawyer expensive?
Using an experienced attorney can actually increase the amount of money you will be paid to compensate you for your accident. After the attorney fee is paid, you will likely have more money in your pocket than if you attempted to represent yourself.
What is a contingency fee?
A contingency fee is an amount paid from the settlement or jury award to compensate the attorney for legal representation. You don't have to pay any money out of your own pocket to develop the case. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.
Will I have to sue?
Not always. Sometimes a lawsuit is the only option when the insurance company offers an unfair settlement amount. It is then necessary to sue to protect your rights to full and fair compensation. An experienced trial attorney can calculate the value of your case so you will know whether the offer from the insurance company is adequate or not.
Isn’t it better to take the insurance company’s settlement offer instead of risking a trial where I might lose and get nothing?
Your attorney can advise you, but it is ultimately your claim and your injury. You make the final decision of whether to settle of go to trial. Your attorney’s experience can guide you in making your decision. Your attorney knows the chances of success at trial and can judge the fairness of the insurance companies settlement offer.
How much is my case worth?
In personal injury cases, you are entitled to compensation for such things as pain and suffering (past and future); medical expenses (past and future); disfigurement; disability and loss of enjoyment of life (past and future). In order to evaluate your claim, we will have to speak with you to discuss the details of your personal injury case.
