Frequently Asked Questions

What factors determine the value of my personal injury case?

The value of your personal injury claim is impacted by various critical factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and the extent of pain and suffering endured. Additionally, determining liability—identifying who is at fault for the accident—is crucial. To accurately evaluate the potential value of your claim, it is essential to seek guidance from an experienced personal injury attorney.

How much will it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?

Many personal injury lawyers operate on a contingency fee basis, relieving you from upfront legal expenses. Under this arrangement, your attorney's fee is contingent upon the successful resolution of your case, with a percentage deducted from the settlement you receive. This setup allows you to secure legal representation without immediate financial burden, while also motivating your attorney to strive for the best possible outcome for your case.

How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury case?

The duration for resolving a personal injury claim can fluctuate considerably, influenced by factors like the case's complexity, negotiations with insurance companies, and the potential for litigation. While certain cases may reach a swift conclusion, others may extend for months or even years before a settlement is reached. Following a comprehensive review of your case details, your attorney can provide a more accurate estimate of the anticipated timeline for resolution.
