Personal injury claims can take a long time to resolve because of the complexity of the case and the amount of evidence that needs to be gathered. In addition, insurance companies may try to delay the process in order to reduce their liability. If you feel that your case is taking too long, it is important to speak with your attorney about your concerns.

Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they take a percentage of the amount recovered from the defendant. The percentage typically ranges from 33% to 40%, but we have seen some attorneys negotiate contingency agreements as high as 60%.

The amount that insurance companies pay for pain and suffering varies depending on the severity of the injury, the type of injury, and other factors. Generally, insurance companies will use a formula to calculate a settlement amount based on the details of the case.

A personal injury claim covers any physical, psychological, or emotional harm caused by another person’s negligence or intentional misconduct. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
