FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A personal injury lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in representing individuals who have been injured as a result of another person’s negligence or intentional act. Personal injury lawyers handle a variety of cases, including car accidents, slip and fall accidents, and wrongful death. They provide legal advice to their clients about their rights and options for pursuing compensation for their injuries and damages. Personal injury lawyers also represent their clients in court proceedings to seek compensation from the responsible party.
A personal injury lawyer handles cases involving physical or psychological injury caused by the negligence or intentional harm of another person, company, government agency, or other entity. Common types of personal injury cases include car accidents, slip and fall accidents, and defective product cases.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage of the amount recovered from the defendant. There really is no standard fee. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.
Wrongful death settlements are usually paid out in a lump sum, though in some cases they may be paid out in installments. The amount of the settlement will depend on the specific circumstances of the case and the laws of the state where it is being litigated.
If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. A personal injury lawyer can help you understand your legal rights, evaluate your case, and provide guidance on how to proceed with a claim. The at fault party will likely have an entire insurance company working on their side. Shouldn’t you have someone on your side too?
