What is personal injury?

Every year hundreds of injuries around the United States for which victims are eligible for compensation go unreported because they don’t realize they’ve suffered a personal injury-and that someone can help. There are a large variety of events covered under personal injury, including auto, motorcycle, Medevac or other vehicular accident, as well as work related injuries and any other injury that you or a loved one received as a result of someone else’s negligence.

How do I know if I’m entitled to a settlement?

If you’ve been injured as a result of carelessness or negligence, chances are good that you are entitled to some form of restitution. When you contact our office we will be happy to speak with you and make a personalized recommendation regarding your case.

What kind of compensation will I receive?

The compensation received by our clients in a personal injury settlement varies on an individual basis; however, if you have been injured you may be entitled to receive compensation for:

Medical expenses
Lost wages, both past and anticipated future
Home care for you and your children as a result of your injury
Rehabilitation and therapy
Pain and suffering
Property damage
Embarrassment

How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?

The statute of limitations on handling a personal injury claim is two years. The best guideline is to consult with an attorney as soon as possible after the injury occurs, while the events of the incident are still fresh in your mind; however, we understand that circumstances do not always allow you to seek legal counsel immediately following an accident. Our firm personally handles accidents up to a year after they occur. If you were injured but were unable to seek legal counsel at the time of the accident, consult with us to learn more.

What do I have to do?

In a perfect world the victim would never find themselves having to fight for the compensation to which they are entitled. Unfortunately, this is rarely the case. As the plaintiff you are going to be responsible for proving that the fault for the accident lies squarely on the shoulders of the party responsible-a situation which prevents many victims from seeking the compensation they’re entitled to.

A good personal injury attorney will be able to help you build your case, so don’t allow your fear to stand in the way of seeking the legal assistance you need. Together with your attorney you will be able to gather the necessary documentation to take your case before a judge.

The good news is that personal injury cases, even those involving large corporations, rarely go to court. Contrary to what Hollywood leads you to believe, no one really wants the negative publicity that a public personal injury case will generate. Most cases settle out of court, allowing the victims to take their settlement and move on with their lives without the additional hassle of a messy, protracted court battle.

How much is it going to cost?

If fear of not being able to prove their case keeps victims from seeking legal counsel, fear of not being able to pay their lawyer when the case is over sends them screaming for the hills. The good news is that you don’t have to worry about it. Personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis rather than a flat fee. They don’t get paid unless you do!

When you receive your settlement your attorney’s office will deduct a percentage of it to pay your legal fees.

If you do not receive a settlement your attorney won’t either-period.
