FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A personal injury claim covers any physical, psychological, or emotional harm caused by another person’s negligence or intentional misconduct. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

There are many reasons why a personal injury lawyer may not take your case. It could be that the lawyer does not specialize in the type of injury you have, or that the lawyer does not feel confident in their ability to win the case. It could also be that the lawyer does not believe that the case is worth pursuing, or that the lawyer does not think they will be able to recover enough money to make it worth their time. Additionally, the lawyer may feel that there is not enough evidence to prove your case.

Personal injury compensation is calculated based on a variety of factors, including the severity of the injury, the extent of any medical expenses and lost income, the impact on quality of life, and other damages such as pain and suffering. The amount of compensation awarded in a personal injury case will depend on the facts and circumstances of each individual case.

They can include the following:

  1. Slip and Fall Accidents
  2. Car Accidents
  3. Product Liability
  4. Dog Bites/Animal Attacks
  5. Defamation of Character
  6. Wrongful Death Claims

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%.
