Personal Injury Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Clients often have important questions about what hiring a personal injury lawyer involves. The following addresses to what we're asked most often:

Most personal injury lawyers 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 arrangement makes quality legal representation accessible to people at all financial levels.

Every case moves at a different pace depending on whether liability is disputed. Some matters close in three to six months, while disputed claims involving significant damages can require more time to properly resolve. Legal counsel will keep you informed at every stage based on what they see in your claim.

The compensation available to you may include economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. Economic damages are calculable — lost paychecks, property damage. Other types of compensation cover pain and suffering. When a defendant's behavior was especially reckless, punitive damages are sometimes awarded.

Most claims handled by a personal injury lawyer resolve through negotiation without court appearances. That said, legal counsel must be capable of courtroom advocacy because insurance companies settle more fairly when they know you're serious. In the event you need to appear in court, our team will walk you through every step.

First and most importantly, seek medical attention immediately. Even when injuries seem minor, some injuries don't appear immediately. After getting medical care, collect as much evidence as possible and speak with an attorney before giving any recorded statement.
