Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?
Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. Typically, fees are 33-40% of the settlement.
How long will my case take?
Case duration varies widely, from a few months to several years depending on complexity. Simple settlements may resolve in 3-6 months, while cases going to trial can take 1-3 years.
What if I was partially at fault?
Many states follow comparative negligence rules, allowing you to recover damages even if you were partially at fault. Your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Never accept the first offer without consulting an attorney. Initial offers are typically much lower than your case's true value. Let experienced lawyers negotiate for maximum compensation.
