NO FEE UNLESS WE WIN
What is a contingency fee?
After an injury, you may need legal representation but worry about the costs. The contingency fee arrangement is designed specifically for situations like this.
In a contingency fee agreement, your personal injury lawyer only gets paid when you recover compensation, whether through a settlement or a trial verdict. The attorney’s fee is a fixed percentage of the compensation you receive, after deducting any expenses your legal team incurs in successfully resolving your case.
Your attorney’s priority is to build the strongest case possible to maximize your compensation. Some costs are associated with building a solid case, but our attorneys cover these expenses upfront. These costs are only deducted from your share of the settlement or court award after the case is won.
OUR CLIENTS ARE OUR PRIORITY
How we handle cases
Your first point of contact with our firm will be one of our receptionists, who will refer you to our Case Control Department. Here, one of our over 200 full-time team members will conduct an initial interview to gather details about your potential claim. This interview typically lasts between 15 and 30 minutes.
Following the initial interview, we will schedule a sign-up meeting at a time that works best for you. If visiting one of our office locations is inconvenient, we can meet you at your home, workplace, or the medical facility where you or your loved one is being treated. With a team of more than 15 full-time field service investigators, we can usually arrange a meeting within 24 hours.
After completing the initial interview process, you will be referred to the appropriate department based on your case type. For instance, if you’ve been involved in a car accident, your case will be directed to an attorney specializing in car accident disputes. One of our five department heads will assess your case’s validity and assign it to the attorney best suited for your needs. Typically, you will be assigned an attorney, legal assistant, and paralegal within a 3 business days of your first contact with us.

Frequently Asked Questions
We understand that navigating a personal injury case can be overwhelming. To help you get started, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most common questions our clients ask. If you need more information or have a specific question about your situation, don’t hesitate to reach out for a free consultation.
If you or a loved one is injured in a vehicle accident, there are many questions that need immediate answers. Acting quickly is essential to protect your right to pursue compensation in a personal injury lawsuit. Each state has specific deadlines, known as the statute of limitations, for filing these cases.
If you miss the statute of limitations, you lose the ability to seek compensation through a lawsuit. Consulting with a lawyer as soon as possible after the accident is in your best interest. This is a critical time for gathering evidence and understanding the impact of the accident on your future. The earlier you speak with a lawyer, the sooner you can begin collecting evidence and addressing important questions with your insurance company.
Delays can significantly reduce your chances of securing the financial compensation needed to cover your injuries. Take action promptly to protect your rights and ensure you have the resources needed for recovery.
When communicating with your attorney, it’s essential to discuss the specifics of your case, including their assessment of your injuries and your chances of recovery. You need a lawyer who is fully committed to advocating for your best interests. If your attorney doesn’t believe in the strength of your case, it may be challenging to secure compensation and work together effectively throughout the process.
It’s also important to understand your lawyer’s personal style and communication preferences. If regular communication is important to you, ensure this is clear from the start. Additionally, make sure your attorney has experience handling cases similar to yours and demonstrates empathy and understanding of how the accident has impacted your life.
Aligning with your attorney on the overall strategy to pursue compensation is crucial. If you prefer to resolve the matter quickly and are open to reasonable settlement offers, communicate this to your lawyer early on.
While many personal injury lawyers share similar educational backgrounds and general knowledge, the right attorney stands out through their commitment to your case and their dedication to fighting for your rights. At our firm, we combine the strength and experience of a large firm with the personal attention and care of a small, local practice. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation case evaluation to get started.
Unlike civil lawsuits that have strict deadlines for seeking monetary damages, state laws generally do not set specific deadlines for filing a car insurance claim. However, your auto insurance policy likely includes language that outlines the time frame for filing a claim. For example, your policy might require you to submit the necessary documents within 30 days of a collision to initiate an investigation.
At our firm, your assigned personal injury attorney will carefully review your insurance policy to determine the exact time frame you have to seek compensation for the financial losses associated with a car accident.
While most insurance companies require you to report a car accident to law enforcement within 24 hours, the deadline for filing an insurance claim may be less clear. Your policy might state that you should file a claim “as soon as possible” after the collision. However, the interpretation of “as soon as possible” is often determined by the insurance company, making it essential to act promptly.
Acting with urgency when filing a car insurance claim is crucial to meeting the timing requirements set by your insurance company. The phrase “as soon as possible” can vary in meaning depending on the insurer, but a good rule of thumb is to file your claim within one month of the accident.
Filing your claim promptly not only helps you fulfill your insurance obligations but also speeds up the process of recovering financial losses. Medical expenses can quickly accumulate due to the need for multiple diagnostic tests, treatments, and physical therapy sessions. Delaying your claim could exacerbate your financial burden, making it harder to manage your obligations.
Your personal injury attorney will also urge you to act quickly to obtain witness statements. The sooner your lawyer can speak with witnesses, the more reliable their accounts will be. Memories fade over time, so interviewing witnesses promptly is key to building a strong case after a car accident.
At the time of a car accident, it’s important to collect certain key information to protect your legal rights and assist with your insurance claim. Start by gathering the other driver’s full name, address, phone number, driver’s license number, and the state where it was issued. You should also note the vehicle registration details, including the make, model, year, and color of the vehicle.
Next, obtain the other driver’s insurance information, including the insurance company name, policy number, and contact details, such as the agent’s name if available. Be sure to record the date, time, and exact location of the accident, along with a description of how it occurred from your perspective. Note the weather, road conditions, and any relevant traffic signals or signs.
If there are witnesses, collect their names and contact information. Additionally, get the name and badge number of the responding police officer, and if possible, the police report number.
It’s also essential to take photos of the damage to all vehicles involved, from multiple angles, as well as the accident scene, including road conditions, traffic signs, and any skid marks. If you or anyone else has visible injuries, document these with photos as well.
Finally, take note of any behavior or statements made by the other driver that could be important later on, such as whether they appeared distracted or impaired. Gathering all this information at the scene of the accident can significantly aid in the insurance claim process and any subsequent legal actions.
If the other driver refuses to provide any information after an accident, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself. First, stay calm and ensure that you and any passengers are safe. It’s important not to engage in an argument with the other driver. Next, contact the police immediately to report the incident. The police can arrive at the scene to facilitate the exchange of information and document the situation in an official report, which will be crucial for your insurance claim and any potential legal action.
Meanwhile, gather as much information as possible on your own. Take photos of the other vehicle, including the license plate, and document the accident scene, damage to both vehicles, and any relevant road conditions. If the other driver leaves the scene, try to note the make, model, and color of their vehicle. Look for any witnesses to the accident, and ask for their contact information and a brief statement of what they saw. Witnesses can provide valuable evidence if the other driver is uncooperative.
Even if the police do not respond to the scene, you can file an accident report with the local police department. This report can serve as an official record of the incident. Finally, notify your insurance company as soon as possible, explaining that the other driver refused to provide information. Provide your insurer with all the evidence you’ve gathered, including the police report if available.
Taking these steps helps ensure that you have the necessary documentation and support to pursue compensation for any damages or injuries, even if the other driver is uncooperative.
“Diminished value” refers to the reduction in a vehicle’s market value after it has been involved in an accident and repaired. Even if the car is fully restored to its pre-accident condition, it is generally worth less than an identical car that has never been in an accident. This loss in value is known as diminished value.
There are three main types of diminished value. Immediate diminished value is the difference in the vehicle’s resale value immediately after an accident, before any repairs are made. Inherent diminished value, the most commonly recognized form, refers to the loss in market value that occurs simply because the vehicle has a history of damage, even if repairs restore the vehicle to its original condition. Repair related diminished value occurs when the repairs themselves are inadequate or leave visible signs of damage, further reducing the vehicle’s value.
Diminished value can be an important factor when seeking compensation from an insurance company after an accident, as you may be entitled to recover the difference in your vehicle’s value before and after the accident.
