I am very grateful to Austin and Tamara for their work on my case. They made sure I received proper medical care and treatment and ensured that I received a fair settlement. Tamara was very good at providing me with updates and answering any questions or concerns that I had.

How Much Cost Do I Have to Bear if I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

How Much Cost Do I Have to Bear if I File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

When you file a personal injury lawsuit with us, you won't have to worry about upfront costs. Most personal injury lawyers, including us, work on a contingency fee basis. This means we only get paid if we win your case, taking a percentage of your settlement or award. We'll discuss all fee arrangements and any potential additional costs during our initial consultation, so you know exactly what to expect.

How Much Can I Expect In Settlement?

How Much Can I Expect In Settlement?

The settlement amount you can expect varies based on the specifics of your case, such as the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the circumstances of the incident. While every case is unique, we use our 38+ years of experience to provide a realistic estimate based on similar cases we've handled. We'll work diligently to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take?

How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take?

There is no specific timeline for a case. Some cases are resolved within a few months, while others may take longer, especially if they go to trial. The complexity of the case, willingness to settle, court schedules, and the need for ongoing medical treatment can all influence the duration. We'll keep you informed every step of the way and provide a clearer timeline after evaluating your specific situation.

What if I am the Party at Fault?

What if I am the Party at Fault?

Even if you believe you are partially at fault for the accident, you may still be entitled to compensation. Many states follow comparative negligence rules, where your compensation is adjusted based on your degree of fault. We'll help you understand how fault affects your claim and work to get you the best possible outcome.
