Personal Injury FAQ

How much is your personal injury case worth?

Every case is different, and it is difficult to say what a particular case is worth without examining the details. There are, however, several different types of compensatory damages that may be available in a personal injury case including:

• Property Damage: Compensation for damage to your vehicle or another property resulting from the incident.
• Loss of Income: Compensation for the income you have already lost, as well as income you are projected to lose in the future resulting from your injuries.
• Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical discomfort you have experienced from your injuries.
• Mental Anguish: Compensation for emotional distress such as anxiety, fear, etc., resulting from the psychological effects of your injury.
• Loss of Enjoyment: Compensation for lost ability to participate in activities you once enjoyed such as exercise, sports and other hobbies.
• Loss of Companionship: Compensation for the impact of losing the companionship of a loved one in a wrongful death case, or the inability to do certain activities together.

In cases where the negligence or recklessness of the other party was especially egregious, the court may choose to award additional damages beyond those that are meant to compensate you for your injuries. These are commonly referred to as punitive damages.

What can an injury attorney do for you?

An excellent personal injury lawyer can do a lot for an injured person. We understand your challenges:

• Navigating property damages, rental cars, repair estimates;
• Suffering a loss of wages at the same time you see bills accumulating for medical expenses on top of the stack of bills already coming due;
• Juggling the added ball of medical care along with the other 10 balls already in the air in our busy, overscheduled lives;
• Finding excellent medical care and knowing who to trust in that space and who to avoid;

And here is how we can help:

• We empower you to articulate the truth about how you were hurt, and to do so using your own words, so it is comfortable and natural for you;
• We help explain how you are injured, and tell your story about how those injuries affected you and/or your loved ones.

In short: we maximize your claim for damages and recover full and fair compensation for what was taken from you, at no fault of your own, and we make it easier for you to deal with all the challenges that go along with suffering a physical injury.

Why should I hire a personal injury lawyer?

The best personal injury lawyers maximize the value of your claim in an ethical fashion, and offer a trusted guiding hand to get you through the process.

True story: We made Allstate Insurance company produce its “Claims Core Processing Manual” in a case that we prosecuted for a client. It was the manual Allstate used to train its adjusters. A primary point of training was to get injured folks to settle directly, before they hired an attorney because Allstate pays more than three (3) times as much, on average, to folks who have a lawyer than those who do not. So if you don’t believe your lawyer can get you more money, and justify his or her fee in the process, you can believe the insurance company’s own admission.

How much does a personal injury attorney cost?

Our injury victims will NEVER pay an up-front fee or charge.

Our lawyers are ONLY paid if and when there is a recovery, whether by lawsuit, verdict or settlement. This payment system is commonly called a “contingency fee” because the fee literally depends upon (or is contingent upon) a recovery.

Your lawyer will receive a percentage of the total sum paid on your case, and the cost your attorney advanced for you in the prosecution of your claim will be repaid from your portion of the recovery. We provide an itemization to every client that details how much money was received, what the attorney fees are, what expenses were advanced on your case, and how much is available for the client.

Our clients sign that itemization, know as a “Final Settlement Statement.”
