FAQ

General Personal Injury Questions

What is a personal injury case?

A personal injury case involves any situation where someone is injured due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another person or entity. Common examples include car accidents, slip and fall incidents, medical malpractice, and workplace injuries. The goal of a personal injury case is to recover compensation for the injured party’s damages, such as medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Do I have a personal injury case?

If you’ve been injured and believe someone else’s actions or negligence caused the injury, you may have a case. Factors such as fault, the extent of your injuries, and available evidence all play a role. Schedule a free consultation with us to discuss your situation.

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

Each state has a statute of limitations that sets a time limit for filing a personal injury lawsuit, typically ranging from 1 to 2 years after the date of the incident. Missing this deadline may prevent you from recovering compensation, so it’s important to act quickly.

What should I do immediately after an accident?

Seek medical attention, even if your injuries seem minor. Document the accident by taking photos, gathering contact information from witnesses, and obtaining a police report if applicable. Avoid speaking to insurance adjusters before consulting with an attorney. Contact our firm as soon as possible to protect your rights.

Working with the Firm

How much does it cost to hire your firm?

We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay us anything upfront. Our fees are a percentage of the compensation we recover for you, and if we don’t win your case, you owe us nothing.

What should I bring to my consultation?

For your initial consultation, bring any relevant documents, such as:

  • Police or accident reports
  • Medical records and bills
  • Photos of the scene and your injuries
  • Insurance information for all parties involved
  • Any correspondence with insurance companies

How will you handle my case?

Our firm takes a comprehensive approach to managing your case. We will:

  • Investigate the accident and gather evidence
  • Communicate with insurance companies on your behalf
  • Work with medical providers to document your injuries
  • Negotiate a fair settlement or, if necessary, prepare for trial

Will my case go to trial?

Many personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if the other party does not offer a fair settlement, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial and advocate for the compensation you deserve.

Compensation and Claims

What types of compensation can I receive?

You may be eligible for various forms of compensation, including:

  • Medical Expenses: Current and future costs for treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitation.
  • Lost Wages: Income lost due to your inability to work.
  • Pain and Suffering: Compensation for physical and emotional distress.
  • Property Damage: Costs to repair or replace damaged property.
  • Loss of Enjoyment: Reduced quality of life due to the injury.

How long will it take to resolve my case?

The timeline for resolving a personal injury case depends on factors such as the complexity of the case, the willingness of the other party to settle, and whether the case goes to trial. While some cases settle in a few months, others may take over a year.

What if I was partially at fault for the accident?

In many states, you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for the accident. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault, your award will be reduced by 20%.

How are medical bills handled during my case?

Medical bills can often be paid through your health insurance, MedPay, or a lien arrangement with your medical provider. We’ll work with providers to ensure your bills are addressed while your case is being resolved.

Specific Case Types

What should I do after a car accident?

After a car accident, follow these steps:

  • Ensure safety: Move to a safe area if possible.
  • Call the police: File an accident report.
  • Exchange information: Get contact and insurance details from the other driver.
  • Document the scene: Take photos of the vehicles, damage, and injuries.
  • Seek medical attention: Even minor injuries should be evaluated.
  • Contact our firm: We’ll guide you through the claims process.

What is premises liability?

Premises liability refers to accidents caused by unsafe or hazardous conditions on someone else’s property. Common examples include slip and falls, dog bites, or injuries due to inadequate security. Property owners have a legal duty to keep their premises safe for visitors, and failure to do so may make them liable for injuries.

Why Should I Hire an Attorney After a Personal Injury Accident?

After an accident, navigating the legal process can be overwhelming, especially when dealing with injuries, medical bills, and insurance companies. Here’s why hiring an attorney is crucial:

  1. Maximize Compensation: An experienced attorney knows how to calculate the full value of your claim, including medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
  2. Handle Insurance Companies: Insurance adjusters often aim to settle for less. An attorney will negotiate aggressively to ensure you get the compensation you deserve.
  3. Build a Strong Case: Your attorney will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and work with experts to strengthen your claim.
  4. Focus on Recovery: Letting an attorney handle the legal work allows you to focus on healing and getting back to your life.
