FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

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%.

A personal injury lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in representing individuals who have been injured as a result of another person’s negligence or intentional act. Personal injury lawyers handle a variety of cases, including car accidents, slip and fall accidents, and wrongful death. They provide legal advice to their clients about their rights and options for pursuing compensation for their injuries and damages. Personal injury lawyers also represent their clients in court proceedings to seek compensation from the responsible party.

The questions you should ask may vary depending on your claim, but in general, they include the following:

  1. How long have you been practicing personal injury law?
  2. What is your success rate in personal injury cases?
  3. How will my case be handled and what is the estimated timeline?
  4. What types of damages am I entitled to receive?
  5. Are there any potential risks or downsides to pursuing a personal injury claim?
  6. Do you have any references from past clients I can contact?
  7. How much do you charge for your services, and what payment options are available?

It is recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible after a slip and fall. If you are experiencing any pain or discomfort, it is important to be evaluated by a medical professional.

Yes, you can negotiate a settlement without a personal injury lawyer. However, it is highly recommended that you seek legal advice before attempting to negotiate a settlement on your own. A personal injury lawyer can provide you with the legal knowledge and experience necessary to ensure that your rights are fully protected and that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible.
