FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage of the amount recovered from the defendant. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.

A personal injury claim can be brought on the grounds of negligence, breach of statutory duty, or breach of contract. Negligence is when a person or entity fails to take reasonable care to avoid causing harm to another person. Breach of statutory duty is when a person or entity fails to comply with a law or regulation that is meant to protect people from harm. Breach of contract is when a person or entity does not fulfill the terms of an agreement that was made between two parties.

It is recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible after a slip and fall. If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort, it is important to be evaluated by a medical professional.

The questions you should ask may vary depending on your claim, but in general, they include the following:

  1. How long have you been practicing personal injury law?
  2. What is your success rate in personal injury cases?
  3. How will my case be handled and what is the estimated timeline?
  4. What types of damages am I entitled to receive?
  5. Are there any potential risks or downsides to pursuing a personal injury claim?
  6. Do you have any references from past clients I can contact?
  7. How much do you charge for your services, and what payment options are available?

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.
