Personal Injury FAQs

If you’ve been injured in an accident, your first thought likely will be on your physical recovery. Although it may be the last thing that you want to think about during this stressful time, you should also consider whether you have the right to take legal action. The growing cost of medical expenses, lost income from time off work and other unforeseen expenditures may result in a different – but no less real – injury.
In the aftermath of an accident, you may not be thinking about how a small amount of time may impact your legal rights. That is exactly what the insurance company is counting on. For example, if you don’t seek medical treatment immediately after an accident the insurance company may deny your claim. There are countless other reasons why insurance companies may deny your legal standing to seek financial compensation for your injuries.
The value of an accident claim is a highly complex determination that is dependent on a number of factors. These include the legal liability of the at-fault party and their ability to pay the judgment (through insurance or otherwise). Also, an accident victim may suffer a variety of different damages, including physical pain, mental anguish, loss of earning capacity, disfigurement, physical impairment and medical expenses.
Yes, there are risks. The time period for asserting a legal claim begins to run immediately after an accident. You should also be aware of other important deadlines (such as when you need to begin seeking medical attention) that may impact your ability to obtain financial recovery from the insurance company. In the aftermath of an accident, intricate legal issues likely won’t be front of mind.
Correct: There are no fees or costs unless we secure a financial recovery for you. Our “no fees or costs unless we win” promise begins when you first contact us for a free, no-obligation consultation. In that initial meeting, we will provide you with a candid analysis of your potential legal claim at no cost to you. Then, if we take on your case, we will advance all costs associated with your representation and perform the work on a contingency fee basis. If we do not achieve a financial recovery, then our fee is $0 and you are not responsible for the costs that we advanced for your claim. This is why we only take on cases in which we sincerely believe.
