What should I do if I am in a car accident?
If you are in a car accident, you should take steps to avoid additional collisions, exchange information with the other driver, do not leave the accident scene, inform the police and your insurance company, and file an accident report. If you are injured, seek appropriate medical treatment and follow your doctor's orders. More info
Will I receive compensation for my lost wages?
You will receive compensation for your lost wages if you receive a settlement or award for compensation from the responsible party. However, if you were in a car accident, your lost wages may be paid before you receive an award or settlement for your claim. More info
Who will pay my medical bills?
Your medical bills will be paid out of any settlement or award for compensation you receive. This compensation is usually paid by the responsible party's insurer. However, if you were in a car accident, your medical bills may be paid before you receive an award or settlement for your claim. More info
What is my case worth?
The value of your case is determined by several factors including whether you can prove someone was responsible, the severity of your injury, how long you suffered pain or discomfort, how much it interfered with your life, whether your injury is permanent and the amount of your medical bills and any lost wages. More info
What can I do to effect the value of my case?
Keep your medical appointments, always tell the truth, focus on your recovery rather than your claim, and keep your attorney informed. More info
How much do you charge?
You are charged a contingent fee on personal injury claims. This means that you are not charged a fee unless you receive compensation from your case. More info
How long will it take before my case is over?
How long your case takes is dependent on several factors including how serious your injury is, how long it takes to recover from your injury, whether a lawsuit is filed and, if so, whether the case is tried. Some cases are resolved within six months while cases involving serious injuries and lawsuits can take over two to three years.
What if someone calls me about my case?
You should tell them you have an attorney and to direct any questions they have to your attorney. However, you have a duty to cooperate if you have a claim against your own insurance company (this usually applies in car accident cases).
