Personal Injury FAQs

Do I Have To Go To Court?

Most personal injury cases are settled without needing to go to court. However, depending on the circumstances of your case, it may be necessary to go to court in order to obtain a favorable outcome. Our attorneys are experienced litigators and will fight for your rights in court if necessary. We will work closely with you every step of the way to ensure that you get the justice and compensation that you deserve.

What Is A Contingency Fee?

Contingency fee is a type of legal fee arrangement in which our attorneys are only paid if they win or settle the case. Our personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning that you will not owe any fees unless we obtain compensation for you. This enables clients to hire an experienced attorney without having to worry about upfront costs or legal expenses.

What Should I Do After an Injury?

After an injury, it is important to take the following steps: seek medical attention right away; document and collect evidence of your injury (including photos, witness statements, and documents relating to the incident); contact a personal injury attorney as soon as possible in order to protect your legal rights; and follow any advice given by your doctor regarding treatment and recovery.
