Traumatic Serious Personal Injury Lawyer Attorney

Do I have a Case?

There are many factors that attorneys look at when determining whether you have a good personal injury case. Some of the factors are;(1) who is at fault; (2) the nature and extent of injuries in the case; (3) insurance policies; (4) the nature and extent of property damage if any; and (5)witnesses to the accident. Other factors attorney's look at are the nature and extent of your communications with the insurance company before you have retained an attorney.

Insurance companies look at the above factors, along with many other factors.

Insurance companies know one thing to be true; if a party to a personal injury case presents a claim to them, and is not represented by an attorney, "they have a sucker on their hands." They know that in the vast majority of cases where a personal injury victim is not represented by a lawyer, that the person will not know what their legal rights are, or what they are legally entitled to collect in a personal injury case.

In these types of situations were you present a claim to insurance company without legal representation, you will most often be presented with a lowball settlement offer, or no settlement offer at all. Do not expect the insurance companies to voluntarily pay you top dollar for your case, or educate you about the benefits that you're entitled to. It's just not going to happen.

Most attorneys will handle your personal injury case on a contingency basis, once they have determined that you have a good chance of obtaining a settlement or a judgment in your case. A contingency fee, is a fee that is based upon a percentage of the total settlement or judgment in your case. The alternative to a contingency fee in a personal injury case, is paying a lawyer his hourly fee for representing you which can be anywhere from approximately $200 per hour to $400 per hour or more. Obviously, the contingency fee is used in the vast majority of car accident cases, so that you do not have to pay any money out of your pocket unless the attorney recovers for you.

The bottom line is this; each case is different. Our firm has seen cases where an insurance company has taken a rear ender type of car accident the court, challenging the nature and extent of injuries, and the reasonableness of medical bills.
