Frequently Asked Question?

Call 911. If you or any other person needs an ambulance, let them know. Even if there are no injuries and all cars are drivable, it’s generally a good idea to report the accident. Sometimes, 911 won’t send police officers to scene of your car accident. Sometimes they will. Be sure to exchange insurance information and driver’s license information with the other driver and get a license plate number. It is also very important to take pictures of the cars and their positions and the damage to the vehicles. You won't be able to get all this information after every car accident but get as much information as possible.

It depends. If you have an injury, it is a good idea to consult with an experienced personal injury attorney before resolving your claim. An unrepresented person may also be unaware of insurance coverage or benefits that could apply to the claim. We can help you understand what compensation might be available and fight to get you the compensation you deserve. If your case only involves damage to your vehicle, you probably do not need to hire a lawyer. However, even a case with just property damage can get complicated and you should at least consult an attorney.

If you were injured in a car accident caused by someone else, you may be entitled to recover money for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, property damage, and other losses caused by the accident. If your injuries affect your ability to work in the future or require ongoing medical care, those losses may also be part of your claim. Every case is different, and the amount you may recover depends on the facts of your case and the extent of your injuries. An experienced personal injury attorney can help you understand what you may be entitled to recover and make sure your claim is properly evaluated.

Many personal injury attorneys handle car accident cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay attorney's fees upfront. The attorney's fee is instead paid as a percentage of the money recovered for you.

Our fee is 33⅓ percent of the recovery if your case is resolved before a lawsuit is filed and 40 percent if a lawsuit is filed. The specific terms of the fee arrangement, including responsibility for case expenses and costs, are explained in the written representation agreement.

It is also important to note that you will not have to pay your lawyer anything upfront in a contingency fee case. Your lawyer will only get paid if you win your case or if the case is settled. This is why contingency fees are often a good option for people who have been injured in a car accident and do not have a lot of money to hire a lawyer.
