Personal Injury Lawyer Frequently Asked Questions

People want answers before moving forward about what hiring a personal injury lawyer involves. The following addresses to what we're asked most often:

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency arrangement, which means you pay no upfront fees. The standard contingency percentage is agreed upon before representation begins. This arrangement makes hiring an attorney affordable to everyone, regardless of income.

The timeline varies considerably depending on the complexity of your injuries. Some matters close in three to six months, while serious injury cases can take one to three years. A personal injury lawyer will keep you informed at every stage based on the circumstances you're facing.

Depending on your case may include economic damages like medical bills and lost wages. Some damages have a clear dollar amount — future medical expenses and ongoing care. Other types of compensation address emotional distress and loss of enjoyment. Where gross negligence is proven, punitive damages are sometimes awarded.

The majority of personal injury cases resolve through negotiation without court appearances. That said, legal counsel must be capable of courtroom advocacy 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.

The most critical first step, seek medical attention immediately. Even if you feel fine, some injuries don't appear immediately. Following your initial evaluation, photograph everything you can and contact a personal injury lawyer before speaking with any insurance adjuster.
