FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.
A personal injury lawsuit is a legal action taken by an individual who has been injured due to the negligence or wrongful act of another party. The lawsuit seeks compensation for the damages suffered, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
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%.
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.
The amount that insurance companies pay for pain and suffering varies depending on the severity of the injury, the type of injury, and other factors. Generally, insurance companies will use a formula to calculate a settlement amount based on the details of the case.
