It depends on numerous factors such as how long it takes you to heal up, whether there are any complications from your injuries, etc. All we can promise you is that we will get you every penny you deserve for your injuries and then some.

2. The insurance company said that I don't need a lawyer. Is that true?

It is important to remember that your interests and the interests of the insurance company are not the same. You should always seek a free consultation from a personal injury lawyer to get an unbiased legal opinion regarding your case and your rights.

3. How much will I have to pay?

We only work on a standard contingency fee, meaning that if we do not win, we do not get paid. Injury victims often cannot afford to pay an attorney by the hour, so we do not charge it.

4. I don't want to go to court, can you still help me?

Absolutely. In fact, most clients want to avoid going to court. We do our very best to come to a reasonable settlement before filing a lawsuit.

5. What information should I have for a consultation?

You will want to provide details of the accident (date, time, location), medical records and bills, insurance information, witness contact information, and any communication you've had with insurance companies.

You may be entitled to compensation for the following: Medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, emotional distress, and future medical expenses and lost earning capacity.

Fault is determined based on evidence such as police reports, witness statements, and accident reconstruction. Comparative negligence laws may apply, which means your compensation could be reduced if you are partially at fault.
