A personal injury claim is a legal action taken against an individual or organization who has caused harm to another person. These claims are typically filed in civil court and seek compensation for physical, emotional, or financial losses resulting from the injury.

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage of the amount recovered from the defendant. There really is no standard fee. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.

When choosing a personal injury lawyer, it is important to consider the lawyer’s experience, reputation, and track record. You should also make sure that the lawyer is knowledgeable about the area of law relevant to your case. Additionally, you should feel comfortable communicating with the lawyer and confident that they will be able to handle your case effectively. At The Bourassa Law Group, you will have attorneys with over 30 years of experience working for the defense and insurance companies taking those skills and fighting for you.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) is a type of car insurance coverage that helps to pay for medical expenses and lost wages incurred due to an accident, regardless of who is at fault. PIP can also provide coverage for funeral costs, rehabilitation costs, and other related expenses. This type of coverage varies by state.
