FAQ’s
WHAT IS MY FIRST STEP IF I’VE BEEN INJURED?
You should first consult your medical professional and obtain necessary treatment. Make sure and be as detailed as possible in reporting your accident and injuries. Then, as soon as possible, contact your lawyer to discuss your rights and ensure that appropriate action is taken.
WHAT DO I DO IF I RECEIVE A CALL FROM AN INSURANCE COMPANY?
If you are contacted by an instance adjuster, DO NOT SPEAK WITH THEM! Tell them your attorney will return their call shortly. If they pressure you into making statements, you have the legal right to terminate the conversation. Remember, they are wanting you to make admissions against your interest, which makes communicating only through your attorney imperative.
ISN’T THE INSURANCE COMPANY ON MY SIDE?
No. With very few exceptions, insurance companies are for-profit businesses, which means that in order to make money, they need to pay out as little money as possible. This means that the insurance company is going to treat you as an adverse party.
WHAT IF I’M ASKED TO SIGN DOCUMENTS?
If you receive documents from an insurance company, whether their or your own, contact our office immediate to schedule an appointment. We’ll do a free review and advise you how to move forward.
WHAT IF THE INSURANCE COMPANY REJECTS MY CLAIM?
If the insurance company rejects your claim, then you have two years from the date of injury in which to file a lawsuit. Starting a lawsuit doesn’t mean that you’ll have to go to trial, though it may eventually lead there. In the interim, we work to thoroughly examine the strengths and weaknesses of your case both legally and factually. We will also need to obtain enough documentation and supportive medical testimony in order to leverage your settlement.
HOW DO I PAY FOR YOUR SERVICES?
We offer both hourly and percentage-based agreements. Under an hourly plan, you front the costs of attorney fees and expenses but keep the entire balance of the insurance check. Under a percentage-based plan, we pay for your litigation costs and are reimbursed upon final insurance recovery, together with a percentage commission for our services (usually 1/3 of the total recovery).
WHAT ARE MY CHANCES OF WINNING?
Unfortunately, there are no guarantees of recovery. That is why our initial consultation is designed to provide a realistic assessment of your case, including the likely time and costs involved with litigation. To help in our decision, we often consult other qualified professionals to ensure that we explore all necessary angles of the case prior to going in.
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR RECENT SUCCESS STORIES?
There are many. Of course, these are only illustrative and cannot accurately predict how your case will go. For further information on your case, call today to schedule your consultation.
