Personal Injury Lawyer FAQ
Clients often have important questions about the legal process and what it costs. Here are honest answers to questions that come up again and again:
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?Most personal injury lawyers work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement, which means there are no out-of-pocket costs. The standard contingency percentage is spelled out clearly in your fee agreement. This model means quality legal representation accessible to people at all financial levels.
How long does a personal injury claim typically take?Every case moves at a different pace depending on how cooperative the insurance company is. Simple claims can resolve in three to six months, while disputed claims involving significant damages can require more time to properly resolve. Your attorney will keep you informed at every stage based on the circumstances you're facing.
What money can I recover with a personal injury lawyer?The compensation available to you may include non-economic damages such as pain and suffering. Economic damages are calculable — future medical expenses and ongoing care. Non-economic damages cover pain and suffering. Where gross negligence is proven, punitive damages may also be available.
Do I need to appear to trial if I retain a personal injury lawyer?Most claims handled by a personal injury lawyer settle before ever reaching trial. However, it's important that your lawyer is fully prepared to litigate because insurance companies settle more fairly when they know you're serious. If your case does go to trial, you won't face it alone.
What steps should I take immediately after an accident?The most critical first step, get evaluated by a doctor right away. Even when injuries seem minor, symptoms may develop hours or days later. Following your initial evaluation, document the scene and reach out to legal counsel before giving any recorded statement.
