Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Personal Injury Work?

In the hands of a skilled, ethical DMV personal injury attorney, you can resolve your case in months, or around a year.

It’s better to have a lawyer take their time and do it right. You want fair compensation for your injuries, don’t you?

Some cases do drag on and on because of how our legal system works.

But remember, it’s not designed to work fast. Our country was founded on fair judicial processes because the British kings and nobility of centuries ago often took what they wanted, when they wanted it, and from whomever they wanted.

Be thankful we have a fair and deliberate process in place here in America.

How Much Do Personal Injury Attorneys Charge and How Do They Get Paid?

The practice of charging a “contingency fee” actually goes back centuries to England. The standard fee for most personal injury lawyers since then has been 33.3% – paid after you win your case. Even though most charge this way, there are a few other differences you’ll bump into as you talk to attorneys.

It’s very important to ask your counsel precisely how they charge. And if you run into any evasive answers, or if you encounter some of the situations below, you should immediately thank them for their time and go about your day. Because in many of these cases, you’ve found a dishonest attorney, and dishonesty in payment could also mean they’re not going to give your case the full attention it deserves.

How Can I Win My Injury Claim and Get Maximum compensation?

Credibility is everything in a personal injury case. It is critical that you always be honest and forthcoming regarding any prior injuries you have sustained – especially in regards to injuries to the same body part(s) injured in the accident at issue.

It is very important that you immediately let your attorney know of any prior injuries including any prior personal injury claims and/or prior workers’ compensation cases.

It goes without saying that it is also very important that you let your treating physician known of any prior injuries you have sustained. This will allow the physician to obtain a proper medical history from you so they can properly document any new symptoms caused by the accident.

We regularly represent clients who have had a prior car accident at some point – before the one we are assisting them with. Most of the time the clients sought medical treatment for a few months and then made a full recovery or something close to it. We encourage clients to be transparent with us and their treating physician(s).
