Personal Injury Lawyer Common Questions Answered
Clients often have important questions about what hiring a personal injury lawyer involves. Here are honest answers to some of the most common questions we receive:
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?Firms like ours work on a contingency fee basis, which means legal fees only apply if you win. The standard contingency percentage is spelled out clearly in your fee agreement. This model means professional legal help available to everyone, regardless of income.
How much time does a personal injury lawsuit typically take?There's no single answer depending on how cooperative the insurance company is. Straightforward cases may settle in three to six months, while serious injury cases can require more time to properly resolve. Legal counsel will keep you informed at every stage based on what they see in your claim.
What types of damages can I recover with a personal injury lawyer?The compensation available to you may include both categories in most personal injury cases. Economic damages are calculable — future medical expenses and ongoing care. Additional recovery compensate for the impact on your quality of life. When a defendant's behavior was especially reckless, punitive damages may also be available.
Do I have to go to trial if I work with a personal injury lawyer?A large percentage of injury claims resolve through negotiation without court appearances. That said, legal counsel must be capable of courtroom advocacy because the threat of trial strengthens your negotiating position. In the event you need to appear in court, you won't face it alone.
What should I do immediately after an accident?Above everything else, seek medical attention immediately. Even if you feel fine, adrenaline can mask serious damage. Once you're safe and treated, collect as much evidence as possible and speak with an attorney before giving any recorded statement.
