| Q: I didn't realize I was hurt at first. Is it too late to bring a case?
A: Sometimes an accident victim only feels slight pain or discomfort and hopes that this pain will resolve itself. If this pain isn't getting better or is getting worse, you should contact an attorney immediately and also call your health care provider if you haven't done so already.
Q: What are your fees?
A: All injury and disability cases are handled on a contingency basis - meaning that we only get paid when you do.
Q: How long does an average injury case take?
A: All cases are different. However, in most situations, we can receive an offer of settlement within a few months from the conclusion of your medical treatment.
Q: Several years ago I had an injury case and received a settlement. Am I entitled to bring another case?
A: Yes.
Q: The insurance company wants to speak to me. Is it OK?
A: No. Contact an experienced lawyer first. Once you hire a lawyer, they will arrange a convenient time to speak to the insurer while protecting your rights.
Q: Who pays my medical bills?
A: Usually, one of the insurance companies.
Q: Do I have to go to court?
A: In most cases, if the accident wasn't your fault, an out of court settlement can be reached with the insurance company.
Q: I can no longer work but I am too young to retire, what can I do?
A: You may be entitled to collect Social Security Disability or SSI benefits.
