FAQ

  • Personal Injury

    • How do I know if I have a personal injury case?
      In order to have grounds to file a personal injury claim, you will need to prove that another person, company, government entity, or some other party is liable for your injuries and the resulting damages. This typically requires that you establish that the other party owed you a duty of reasonable care and that they breached this duty by acting negligently, recklessly, or unlawfully. You will also have to prove that the breach of the duty of care was the proximate cause of your injuries and that you sustained measurable damages.
    • What are damages?
      In personal injury law, “damages” refers to any losses you suffer as a result of an accident, injury, or death of a loved one. Damages can be both economic and non-economic. Economic damages include things like medical bills, lost wages/income, lost earning capacity, future medical expenses, and more. Non-economic damages, on the other hand, include intangible losses stemming from the incident, such as pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and loss of love or companionship.
    • How much is my case worth?
      Because every situation is entirely unique, it is impossible to determine the exact value of your case without conducting a thorough investigation of the facts. No reputable attorney will be able to provide an assessment of the value of your potential claim without first meeting with you to discuss the various details of your situation.

    • How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
      Most personal injury attorneys, including ours, charge fees on a contingency basis. This means that your personal injury attorney’s fees will be contingent on them winning your case. Typically, personal injury firms cover the upfront costs of a case and collect reimbursement and/or attorney’s fees based on an agreed-upon percentage of the client’s total settlement or verdict if trial is necessary.
