You are not required to pay us to handle your case. We are only paid if you receive money as a result of your injuries. When we negotiate a settlement on your behalf, we generally take one-third of the total amount as our fee. That leaves you with two-thirds of the total. This is the customary fee for personal injury and medical malpractice attorneys.
Insurance companies love it when injured parties decide not to hire a lawyer. Without knowledge of the law, you have no way to protect your rights or know what settlement amount is possible for you. A lawyer will work to protect your rights, making sure that you receive all the money you deserve for your medical expenses and suffering.
If you have suffered an injury as a result of the negligence of someone else – for example, someone ran a red light, a doctor failed to take proper care of you or a loved one, a company marketed a dangerous product, or a construction company failed to make a building safe, resulting in your injury – then, you no doubt have a case. The best way to determine if you are entitled to compensation as a result of your injuries is to contact a lawyer immediately.
Make sure you get the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and license plate numbers of all other parties and witnesses to the accident. Take photographs of the site of the accident, your injuries, and any damaged property. Call the police to make an accident report, see a doctor right away, and call a lawyer immediately. Never speak to the other party's insurance company before contacting a lawyer.
The statute of limitations (not the statue of limitations!) is a law that requires you to begin a case within a certain period of time. Therefore, it is important to contact a lawyer immediately after your injury.
