They are happy to answer all of your inquiries, give you free professional advice about your case and get your case started at no upfront cost to you.
Q: How much is my accident or case worth?
A: There is no quick answer to this question because the value of a claim will depend on a number of different factors, only some of which include:
Attending an initial consult with a skilled attorney will be crucial to getting a more precise estimate as to what your case is likely worth.
Q: How long will my case take?
A: This is another factor that varies from case to case and that depends on a number of different factors. While more straightforward personal injury lawsuits can be settled as soon as month or two after the case has been filed, more complex cases that end up going to trial can take more than a year to be resolved. Again, you are advised to consult with an experienced attorney for a more specific answer regarding how long it will likely take to resolve your case.
Q: Will my personal injury lawsuit go to trial?
A: Most likely, no. While you should always be prepared to have to go to trial, the fact is that more than 90 percent of personal injury lawsuits are settled before litigation. This is because it’s usually more beneficial (and cost-effective) for both parties to reach a settlement, rather than draw out the claim with potentially costly trials.
If, however, defendants in a case are unwilling to offer reasonable settlements to personal injury victims or if personal injury victims want to have their day in court, trials will take place to resolve these cases.
