Common Questions

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay absolutely nothing unless we successfully win or settle your case. Our fee is a percentage of the compensation we recover for you.

First, ensure your safety and seek medical attention, even for minor injuries. Then, if possible, document the scene, get contact information from witnesses, and report the incident. Crucially, contact us before speaking to an insurance adjuster.

The value of a case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering. We conduct a thorough investigation to calculate the full and fair value of your claim.

The majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court through skilled negotiation. However, we prepare every case as if it will go to trial to ensure we are in the strongest possible position to fight for you.

There are strict deadlines, known as the statute of limitations, for filing a personal injury lawsuit. It is vital to contact an attorney as soon as possible to protect your right to compensation.

We strongly advise against giving a recorded statement or accepting any early settlement offer from an insurance adjuster without speaking to us first. The adjuster's goal is to minimize the amount they pay out. Refer them to your lawyer; we will handle all communications to protect your rights and interests.

You may still be entitled to compensation even if you were partially at fault. Under the rules of comparative negligence, your recoverable damages might be reduced by your percentage of fault. It is crucial to have your case evaluated by a lawyer to understand your rights, as fault is often a complex legal issue.

Compensation, or "damages," is intended to cover all of your losses. This can include economic damages like current and future medical bills, lost wages, and property damage, as well as non-economic damages for your pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of quality of life.

Your health is the top priority. Do not delay necessary medical care due to cost. The cost of your medical treatment is a key component of your claim, and we fight to recover those expenses. We can also help explore options to ensure you get the care you need while your case is pending.

Even injuries that seem minor at first can develop into chronic, long-term problems. An early, low settlement offer from an insurance company may not cover future complications. A free consultation with us can help you understand the true value of your claim and ensure you don't settle for less than you deserve.
