Frequently Asked Questions

What factors determine the value of my personal injury case?

Multiple elements affect the valuation of your personal injury case, such as the severity of your injuries, the cumulative medical expenses incurred, lost earnings due to work incapacity, and the level of pain and suffering you have faced. Additionally, pinpointing the responsible party accurately is essential for a thorough evaluation of your claim's overall worth.

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

Retaining a personal injury attorney usually doesn't require upfront payments if they work on a contingency fee basis. In this arrangement, the attorney's payment is a percentage of the settlement or court award, typically between 25% and 40%. You only owe fees if your case results in a win. The specific percentage can differ depending on the complexity of the case and the attorney's customary fees.


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

The time required to resolve a personal injury case can vary widely, from several months to many years. The duration depends on factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the willingness of the parties to negotiate a settlement. Delays often stem from protracted negotiations, thorough evidence gathering, or the case proceeding to trial. Initiating legal proceedings quickly can help speed up the resolution process.
