Frequently Asked Questions

What factors determine the value of my personal injury case?

Numerous elements influence the value of your personal injury case, such as the severity of your injuries, all associated medical costs, lost earnings due to inability to work, and the level of pain and suffering you have experienced. Additionally, accurately determining liability by pinpointing the responsible party is essential for a thorough evaluation of your claim's overall worth.

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

Engaging a personal injury attorney often does not require upfront fees if they work on a contingency fee basis. In this arrangement, the attorney's compensation is a percentage of the settlement or court award, typically between 25% and 40%. You are only responsible for payment if your case is successful. The specific percentage may differ depending on the case's complexity and the attorney's usual rates.


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

The time it takes to resolve a personal injury case can vary greatly, often ranging from several months to multiple years. This duration is influenced by factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the injuries, and the willingness of the parties to negotiate a settlement. Delays typically arise from extended negotiations, the time taken to gather evidence, or if the case proceeds to trial. Quick initiation of legal proceedings can help speed up the resolution process.
