FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
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.
A personal injury lawsuit is a legal action taken by an individual who has been injured due to the negligence or wrongful act of another party. The lawsuit seeks compensation for the damages suffered, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses.
They can include the following:
- Slip and Fall Accidents
- Car Accidents
- Product Liability
- Dog Bites/Animal Attacks
- Defamation of Character
- Wrongful Death Claims
The amount of money a personal injury lawyer gets from a settlement depends on the type of fee arrangement that has been agreed upon between the lawyer and the client. Generally, personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. 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.
