FAQs

Find answers to common questions about personal injury law and our services.

What is considered a personal injury?

A personal injury is any harm—physical or emotional—that happens to you because of someone else’s careless or wrongful actions. This could include things like:

- Car, truck, or motorcycle accidents
- Slips, trips, or falls
- Nail Salon Injuries
- Home accidents
- Medical mistakes

If you’ve been hurt and it wasn’t your fault, there’s a good chance it counts as a personal injury.

Can I receive money for what I’ve been through?

You might be entitled to compensation if you’ve experienced physical pain, emotional stress, missed work, or unexpected medical bills due to your injury. Each case is different, but common types of compensation include:



- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Ongoing treatment or therapy

We’ll help you understand what kind of recovery is possible.

What mistakes could hurt my case?

Some things can weaken your claim, such as:

- Talking to the insurance company without a lawyer
- Minimizing or overstating your injuries
- Posting about the accident on social media
- Delaying medical care

The best way to avoid missteps is to speak with us early. We’re here to guide you.

What could my case be worth?

Your case value depends on many factors: the seriousness of your injuries, how long recovery takes, and how your life is affected. You may be able to recover for:

- Medical bills (past and future)
- Time missed at work
- Long-term health effects
- Pain and emotional suffering

We can help estimate a fair range once we know more about your situation.

Should I accept the insurance company’s offer?

Not before we review it. Insurance companies aim to settle quickly and for as little as possible. Once you accept an offer, you can’t go back and ask for more. Let us look it over to make sure it covers everything you deserve.

Why do I need a personal injury attorney?

You deserve someone on your side who knows the system and can fight for what’s fair. A personal injury attorney helps protect your rights, makes sure the paperwork is handled properly, and advocates for the best outcome—so you can focus on healing.

How do I choose the right attorney?

Look for someone experienced, responsive, and genuinely invested in your story. Ask questions. Make sure they explain things clearly. At our office, you’ll always be heard and supported.

How can I get the most out of my personal injury claim?

The best way is to seek medical care, document everything, and get legal advice early. We’ll help you gather what you need and make sure you don’t settle for less than you deserve.

Do I have a case?

If you’ve been injured because someone else didn’t act responsibly, you might have a case. Every situation is different, but we can help you figure it out. It starts with a conversation—we'll listen to your story and walk you through your options.

How long do I have to take legal action?

There are legal deadlines, called statutes of limitations, which limit how long you have to file a claim. These vary depending on where the injury happened and what kind of case it is. The safest move? Talk to an attorney as soon as you can so your rights are protected.

How long does a personal injury case take?

It depends. Some cases settle in a few months; others can take longer, especially if they go to court. What matters most is making sure your medical treatment is complete and we fully understand your future needs. We won’t rush a case at the cost of your wellbeing.

What if I was partly at fault?

You might still be able to recover money even if you were partially responsible. Every situation is unique, but the law often allows you to be compensated based on the other party’s level of fault. Let’s talk it through together.

What should I do after a car accident?

If you're in an accident, take a breath and focus on these steps:

- Call the police and get medical help if needed
- Get names, contact info, and insurance details from all drivers
- Take photos of the vehicles, injuries, and scene
- Talk to witnesses and get their info
- Write down what happened while it’s fresh
- Contact your insurance company to report the accident
- Get checked by a doctor, even if you feel okay


Then, call us. We’ll take it from there.

How soon should I call a lawyer?

As soon as you can. The sooner we can gather evidence, speak to witnesses, and understand your medical care, the better we can build your case.

What are compensatory vs. punitive damages?

Compensatory damages are meant to help you recover from the harm you’ve experienced—like medical bills or emotional distress. Punitive damages are rare but may be awarded if the other party’s behavior was especially harmful or reckless.

How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

We work on a contingency fee basis—that means you don’t pay anything upfront. We only get paid if you win your case. It’s that simple.
