Personal Injury Lawyer Common Questions Answered
People want answers before moving forward about what hiring a personal injury lawyer involves. The following addresses to what we're asked most often:
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?Most personal injury lawyers work on a no-win, no-fee arrangement, which means there are no out-of-pocket costs. The standard contingency percentage is spelled out clearly in your fee agreement. This arrangement makes quality legal representation accessible to anyone who has been hurt.
How much time does a personal injury claim typically take?Every case moves at a different pace depending on whether liability is disputed. Simple claims can resolve in under a year, while serious injury cases can require more time to properly resolve. Your attorney will keep you informed at every stage based on what they see in your claim.
What compensation can I recover with a personal injury lawyer?Depending on your case may include both categories in most personal injury cases. Certain losses are easier to quantify — future medical expenses and ongoing care. Non-economic damages address emotional distress and loss of enjoyment. In rare cases involving egregious conduct, punitive damages can be sought.
Do I need to appear to court if I hire a personal injury lawyer?Most claims handled by a personal injury lawyer resolve through negotiation without court appearances. However, your attorney needs to be fully prepared to litigate because that readiness often drives better settlements. Should litigation become necessary, your attorney will prepare you thoroughly.
What should I do immediately after an accident?First and most importantly, prioritize your health and safety. Regardless of how you feel at the scene, symptoms may develop hours or days later. Once you're safe and treated, collect as much evidence as possible and contact a personal injury lawyer before giving any recorded statement.
