Personal Injury Lawyer Common Questions Answered

Clients often have important questions about what hiring a personal injury lawyer involves. 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 contingency fee basis, which means legal fees only apply if you win. Typically, the attorney's fee is agreed upon before representation begins. This model means hiring an attorney affordable to anyone who has been hurt.

How long does a personal injury lawsuit typically take?

The timeline varies considerably depending on whether liability is disputed. Simple claims can resolve in under a year, while complex litigation can take one to three years. Legal counsel will keep you informed at every stage based on what they see in your claim.

What types of damages can I claim with a personal injury lawyer?

Depending on your case may include non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Certain losses are easier to quantify — future medical expenses and ongoing care. Other types of compensation compensate for the impact on your quality of life. In rare cases involving egregious conduct, punitive damages are sometimes awarded.

Do I need to appear to trial if I work with a personal injury lawyer?

The majority of personal injury cases are resolved outside the courtroom. However, your attorney needs to be ready to go to trial because insurance companies settle more fairly when they know you're serious. Should litigation become necessary, you won't face it alone.

What should I do immediately after getting hurt?

First and most importantly, seek medical attention immediately. Even if you feel fine, symptoms may develop hours or days later. Following your initial evaluation, collect as much evidence as possible and speak with an attorney before speaking with any insurance adjuster.
