Frequently Asked Questions About Working With an Insurance Claims Lawyer

Many people come to us with comparable concerns before taking the next step. The following addresses the questions we hear most:

At our office, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means our payment comes from a percentage of your recovery — and nothing at all if we don't. There's no risk to have your case reviewed and handled.

The timeline varies considerably depending on how cooperative the insurer is and how quickly evidence is gathered. Straightforward claims may resolve in three to six months, while disputed or bad-faith cases can extend well beyond that. We update clients regularly throughout the full duration of your case.

First-party insurance claims involves your own insurer — for example, using your own health or UM coverage after an accident. Filing against a third party go against someone else's insurer — such as a property owner's liability policy. Our attorneys represent clients in both situations and know which strategy applies to your specific situation.

Insurers deny valid claims more often than you'd expect. Insurers may cite technicalities to turn down a legitimate claim. But a denial is not the final word, and an insurance claims lawyer is often able to reverse denials by recover what the insurer refused to pay. State law also allows for bad-faith claims when denial is done in bad faith.

The first number an adjuster gives you is seldom close to what you deserve. Insurance companies make early low offers hoping to close the claim cheaply. Don't agree to anything until an attorney reviews it. A consultation costs you nothing and will quickly determine whether what's on the table reflects your real damages.
