Frequently Asked Questions

What factors determine the value of my personal injury case?

Various factors play a critical role in the assessment of your personal injury claim. These include the severity of your injuries, the amount of medical expenses incurred, lost wages due to an inability to work, and the level of pain and suffering you have endured. Additionally, accurately identifying the responsible party is crucial for a comprehensive evaluation of the overall value of your claim.

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

Hiring a personal injury attorney typically entails no upfront payments when they operate on a contingency fee basis. Under this arrangement, the attorney's fees are a percentage of the settlement or court award, generally ranging from 25% to 40%. You only pay if your case is successful. The exact percentage may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the attorney's customary fees.

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

The duration to resolve a personal injury case can vary significantly, typically ranging from several months to several years. This timeline depends on factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the willingness of all parties to reach a settlement. Delays may occur due to extensive negotiations, thorough evidence collection, or if the case proceeds to trial. Taking prompt legal action can help expedite the resolution process.
