Frequently Asked Questions

What factors determine the value of my personal injury case?

Several crucial factors impact the value of your personal injury claim, including the severity of your injuries, medical treatment costs, lost income from your inability to work, and the extent of pain and suffering you've endured. Identifying the responsible party to establish liability is equally vital. To accurately assess the value of your claim, it is essential to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney.

How much will it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?

Many personal injury lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don't pay any upfront legal fees. In this arrangement, your attorney's payment depends on the successful resolution of your case, where their fee is a set percentage of the settlement you receive. This setup enables you to access legal representation without immediate financial burden and motivates your lawyer to achieve the best possible result for your case.

How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury case?

The duration required to settle a personal injury claim can greatly differ based on several factors, such as the case's complexity, the details involved in negotiating with insurance companies, and the likelihood of legal action. While some claims may be settled swiftly, others could extend over several months or even years. Once your attorney has carefully examined the particulars of your case, they can offer a more precise estimate of the time it might take to reach a settlement.
