Yes, if you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence, it is important to hire a personal injury attorney to help you receive the compensation you deserve. A personal injury attorney can help you navigate the legal process and ensure that your rights are protected. The at fault party will have an insurance company and a team of people behind them as soon as they learn about a claim. Don’t you deserve someone on your side?

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%.

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.

Your personal injury claim may be going to court if the other party does not agree to settle your claim. This could be because they do not believe you are entitled to the amount of compensation you are seeking, or because they do not believe that the accident was their fault. If the two parties cannot come to an agreement, then the case may have to be decided in court.
