Frequently Asked Questions
Plain-language answers to common personal injury questions.
Personal injury questions rarely have useful one-line answers. These general explanations can help you prepare for a conversation about your specific situation.
A consultation is an opportunity to understand possible next steps, important deadlines, and what information may still be needed.
How do I know whether I have a personal injury claim?+
A claim generally depends on whether another person or business failed to use reasonable care and caused harm. The facts, available evidence, and timing all matter, so an individual review is the best place to start.
How long will my case take?+
There is no responsible one-size-fits-all timeline. Treatment and recovery, disputed responsibility, the amount of evidence, insurance response, and whether litigation becomes appropriate can all affect timing.
Should I speak with the insurance company?+
Be careful about recorded statements, broad medical authorizations, and early settlement offers. You may want legal advice before giving information that could affect your claim.
What is my claim worth?+
Value may depend on medical expenses, lost income, future needs, pain and disruption, available coverage, responsibility, and the quality of the evidence. No result can be predicted from a short formula.
What does a consultation cost?+
The initial consultation is free. Any representation terms, including fees and costs, should be explained in a written agreement before you decide to hire the firm.
