Personal Injury Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

Many accident victims wonder about how these cases actually work. The following addresses to what we're asked most often:

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency arrangement, which means there are no out-of-pocket costs. The standard contingency percentage is a percentage of the final settlement or verdict. This model means hiring an attorney affordable to people at all financial levels.

There's no single answer depending on whether liability is disputed. Some matters close in under a year, while complex litigation can last considerably longer. Your attorney will set honest expectations based on what they see in your claim.

Based on the facts of your situation may include both categories in most personal injury cases. Economic damages are calculable — future medical expenses and ongoing care. Non-economic damages compensate for the impact on your quality of life. Where gross negligence is proven, punitive damages can be sought.

A large percentage of injury claims settle before ever reaching trial. However, it's important that your lawyer is fully prepared to litigate because the threat of trial strengthens your negotiating position. If your case does go to trial, you won't face it alone.

First and most importantly, prioritize your health and safety. Regardless of how you feel at the scene, symptoms may develop hours or days later. Following your initial evaluation, collect as much evidence as possible and reach out to legal counsel before speaking with any insurance adjuster.
