Generally speaking, we don’t! We offer affordable payment plans for most types of cases and in personal injury cases we work on a contingency fee basis. A contingency basis simply means that we only charge a fee if we win your personal injury case. The fee is then based on a percentage of the total amount of the settlement or verdict we obtain for you and is paid by the insurance company of the at fault party in your personal injury case. In all other matters we have both flat fee and hourly fee arrangements with affordable “pay as you go” style plans.

A personal injury claim is a legal action filed by an individual who has been injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. It seeks compensation for the physical, emotional, and financial losses resulting from the injury.

Personal injury claims can arise from various types of injuries, including those resulting from car accidents, slip and fall accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and product defects, among others.

After an injury, it’s important to:

• Seek medical attention.
• Report the incident to the relevant authorities or property owner.
• Collect evidence (photos, witness information).
• Keep records of medical treatment and expenses.

It’s advisable to contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible after your injury. An attorney can provide guidance, assess the viability of your claim, and help you navigate the legal process.

Fault is determined based on negligence. To establish negligence, you must show that the responsible party had a duty of care, breached that duty, and that the breach directly caused your injuries.

The value of your personal injury claim depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. An attorney can help you determine the potential value of your claim.

The statute of limitations sets a time limit for filing a personal injury claim, which varies by state. Missing this deadline can result in losing your right to seek compensation.

Before accepting an insurance settlement, consult with an attorney. Insurance companies may offer low settlements, and an attorney can help you negotiate for fair compensation.

If your case goes to trial, both parties will present their arguments, and a judge or jury will make a decision. Trials can be lengthy, and it’s essential to have strong legal representation.

To strengthen your claim:

• Seek immediate medical attention.
• Preserve evidence (photos, records).
• Keep a journal of your injuries and recovery.
• Consult with an experienced personal injury attorney.
