Hiring a personal injury attorney does not cost you anything up front. Instead, personal injury attorneys are paid a percentage of your settlement funds when the claim is paid. This type of fee arrangement is called a contingency fee - the attorney fee is contingent on your attorney obtaining a recovery for you. You owe your attorney nothing if your attorney cannot obtain a settlement for you.

The value of a personal injury case is based on the negligence of the parties, the nature and extent of injuries, the amount of medical bills incurred to treat injuries, and the impact the injury has on the injured person’s life. Generally speaking, damages are divided into two categories: economic damages and non-economic damages. Economic damages are damages that you can calculate like medical bills and lost wages. Non-economic damages are intangible damages that are difficult to calculate like pain and suffering, scarring, permanent disfigurement, permanent injury, emotional distress and the like. Other factors that impact case value include the amount of insurance available, the presence of pre-existing injuries, and comparative fault. An attorney can help you value your claim so you know you are getting every penny you deserve.

A statute of limitation is a law that sets a deadline for filing a lawsuit. The deadline is extended if a person is injured when a child. Call us to find out the deadline for your case.

The time it takes to settle a personal injury case depends on how long it takes for your injures to resolve. If you have minor injuries and a short recovery then your case will settle sooner than if you have severe injuries with a long treatment plan. When you settle your claim it is final and you cannot reopen the case to get more money if you end up having additional treatment. We want to ensure that all medical bills are covered by the settlement so we wait until a client’s doctor releases them from care before we settle a client’s case.
