I can't afford to hire a lawyer. Can you still assist me?
We realize that not everyone can afford to hire a lawyer when they require one. Virtually all injury attorneys only get paid if they successfully get you money for your case. You can get the representation you need without paying anything in advance.
How much could you potentially receive as a settlement for your injury?
The potential settlement amount you could receive for your injury depends on various factors, such as the severity of the injury, the circumstances surrounding the incident, medical expenses, loss of earnings, and more. It’s challenging to provide an exact figure without a thorough examination of your particular situation.
We encourage you to contact our experienced legal team for a free, no-obligation consultation. We’ll carefully assess your case and provide guidance tailored to your needs.
How much money does a personal injury lawyer charges to review my case?
We offer a free initial consultation to discuss the details of your case. This meeting helps assess whether you have a valid claim.
If we agree to take your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, meaning we only get paid if we win or settle your case. In other words, if there’s no win, there’s no pay. This aligns our interests with yours and ensures we are motivated to achieve the best possible outcome for your situation.
How long does it take to earn the compensation?
The time can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, the parties involved, the court’s schedule, and other factors. It can take anywhere from a few months to several years. Settling out of court can speed up the process, while going to court can prolong it.
Speaking with a personal injury attorney familiar with your situation can provide a more accurate time frame.
Is this service confidential?
Rest assured that our service is completely secure and confidential. Your privacy is of utmost importance to us, and we take all necessary measures to protect it.
What if I'm not a 'big case'? I was injured in a small accident. Can you still help me?
You may still have a case if an accident aggravated a past injury. The only way to know is to have a free consultation with a licensed law firm.
Do I still have a case if this accident provoked a previous injury?
Yes, it is possible to have a case if an accident aggravated or worsened a pre-existing injury. The details will depend on the specifics of your situation, and a personal injury attorney will usually evaluate the facts to determine how the accident may have aggravated the prior injury. Because this is a complex area of the law, consulting with a qualified attorney is often advisable.
I was in an accident. Should I call 911?
If you were in an accident, it’s best to call 911. The responding officer should take your statements, a detailed accident report, and the other party’s contact information.
An insurance company is asking for a recorded statement. Should I give it to them?
The insurance company of the party at fault is not typically entitled to a statement. It’s best to have an attorney with you on the phone. You should avoid providing them with a statement and information that they could use against you in the case.
My car is getting repaired in the body shop. What do I do now?
If your car is in the body shop, you are likely entitled to have a rental car until the repair is complete and your vehicle is available.
I was in an accident, can I get a rental car?
Yes. An insurance company may make rental car arrangements for you. Other insurance companies may require you to pay for a rental car and reimburse you a certain amount.
How long will my case take to finish?
The time a case will take varies since each case is unique. Factors that influence the time your case will take include the severity of the injuries, doctor statements, and ongoing medical treatments. An attorney can work with you to collect and send your medical bills to the insurance company and begin the process.
The insurance company made me an unfair offer. They gave me a low-ball offer... what should I do?
Insurance companies can often make “low-ball” offers to clients that do not have legal representation. You might not get a good deal if you try to handle your case alone. It’s not too late. Call now, even if you have received an offer to connect with a licensed lawyer who can help.
