Our Frequently Asked Questions
How do our free consultations work?
Once you submit your contact information on our website, we will have an initial meeting via phone to discuss the details of your claim and your options. You will not be charged for the initial meeting.
How do you pay your lawyer if you decide to hire us?
We do not charge any legal fees until your case is resolved. Our fees are contingency-based and we do not get paid unless you receive a settlement.
What are contingency fees?
Contingency fees are based on a percentage of the settlement you receive.
How long does it take to settle a personal injury claim?
It generally takes anywhere from 1 to 5 years to settle a personal injury claim. If your claim is open longer, it usually means the injuries are more severe and you may receive a higher settlement.
How do we deal with the insurance companies on your behalf?
Once we are hired, we deal with the insurance companies so you do not have to. The insurance companies will no longer contact you and all communication will go through us. You can focus on your recovery and we will handle obtaining the benefits and compensation you deserve.
What should I bring with me to my free personal injury legal consultation?
Please bring any details you have of the accident, insurance company information, the police file number, photos, and your identification.
