FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A personal injury lawyer is a type of lawyer who provides legal representation to those who have suffered a physical or psychological injury as a result of the negligence or wrongdoing of another person, company, government agency, or other entity. Personal injury lawyers specialize in tort law, which covers civil wrongs and damages that occur as a result of negligence or intentional acts. They typically handle cases involving car crashes, product liability, slip and fall accidents, dog bites, and more.

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?

Yes, you can fire your personal injury lawyer. However, you should be sure to review the terms of your contract with the lawyer to ensure that there are no penalties for doing so. You should also make sure that you have a clear understanding of any fees that may be owed to the lawyer for their services before terminating the relationship.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a type of car insurance coverage that helps to pay for medical expenses and lost wages incurred due to an accident, regardless of who is at fault. PIP can also provide coverage for funeral costs, rehabilitation costs, and other related expenses. This type of coverage varies by state.

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%.
