from the right side.
Will I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Most cases are settled during various stages of a lawsuit. Because of our renowned reputation and ability, it is more likely that we will obtain a quicker settlement. However, we will go to trial if we do not receive a reasonable offer. All offers will be discussed with you.
How long will my case take?
This depends on numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. The court’s backlog, for example, may delay your case. However, with our knowledge and experience, most of our cases progress rapidly. And we constantly explore the possibilities of settlement, which can occur at any time, including during the trial.
How much will I have to pay and when?
Our firm, like many others, works on a contingency basis, which means we get a percentage of your monetary recovery. You don’t pay a fee unless we obtain money for you, either by trial, arbitration, mediation or settlement. We are also reimbursed for any expenses related to the case. At the conclusion, we must file a statement with the Office of Court Administration describing how the proceeds are distributed. Our fee is regulated by court rules.
Do all law firms handle these types of cases?
No. However, other firms may handle personal injury along with other types of cases. We limit our practice to all types of personal injury and medical malpractice. We feel that our expertise in this area allows us to be successful in achieving the best results.
How much money can I expect to get?
No one can give you a definitive answer to that question until your case progresses. Each situation is different so the recovery amount will vary. There are numerous factors that contribute to establishing the value of the case.
