FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The best way to find a personal injury lawyer near you is to search online for local attorneys. You can also ask friends, family, and colleagues for recommendations. Additionally, you can contact your local bar association or state bar association for a list of qualified personal injury lawyers in your area.

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.

Yes, you can fire your personal injury lawyer. However, you should be sure to review the terms of your contract with the lawyer to ensure that there are no penalties for doing so. You should also make sure that you have a clear understanding of any fees that may be owed to the lawyer for their services before terminating the relationship.

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%.

  1. How long have you been practicing personal injury law?
