Personal Injury Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions
Clients often have important questions about how these cases actually work. The following addresses to what we're asked most often:
How much does it cost to retain a personal injury lawyer?Firms like ours work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement, which means legal fees only apply if you win. What you'll owe your lawyer is agreed upon before representation begins. This arrangement makes quality legal representation accessible to anyone who has been hurt.
How long does a personal injury claim typically take?Every case moves at a different pace depending on the complexity of your injuries. Simple claims can resolve in under a year, while disputed claims involving significant damages can take one to three years. Legal counsel will set honest expectations based on what they see in your claim.
What types of damages can I recover with a personal injury lawyer?Depending on your case may include both categories in most personal injury cases. Economic damages are calculable — lost paychecks, property damage. Additional recovery address emotional distress and loss of enjoyment. When a defendant's behavior was especially reckless, punitive damages can be sought.
Do I have to go to court if I hire a personal injury lawyer?Most claims handled by a personal injury lawyer are resolved outside the courtroom. Even so, your attorney needs to 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.
What steps should I take immediately after being injured?First and most importantly, seek medical attention immediately.
