Representing Injured Persons
We represent our clients professionally, individually, and personally. Our lawyers are experienced, dedicated and aggressive in their pursuit of obtaining just compensation for our client. We keep our clients informed of the progress of their cases. You can always speak with a lawyer if you call. If he or she is unavailable, your call will promptly be returned. Attorneys who refer cases to us are kept fully informed.
We put the time and money necessary into the full preparation of a case, but at the same time we try to avoid unnecessary expenses. We do not charge secretarial or overtime expenses to the clients. We work on the contingent fee system which is explained below.
We have found that we can achieve the best settlements for our clients by not trying to work with the insurance company on a claims basis. Rather, generally, we place your case into suit and press it on for trial. We have found that the best settlement arises when your case is coming up for trial and it has been fully prepared. The insurance company or defendant can then see that you have the proof necessary to win and can see the exposure presented. We are also not hesitant about going to trial, if that is what you want and if doing so is likely to achieve a better result than any settlement which has been offered. On the other hand, we do not try cases that should be settled just to add to our reputation, since that practice puts the client at risk to lose everything.
Fees & Investigation
Almost all law firms, ours included, handle personal injury cases on a “contingent fee” basis, meaning that we only get paid at the end of the case (in the form of either a settlement or a verdict). We get a percentage of your recovery, normally one-third. You are not liable for our time, however, if we do not achieve a recovery for you. As examples, if we investigate your case and then decide not to proceed with it, or if we try your case and lose, you do not owe us for our time. The fee we earn is contingent on a successful outcome, which is why this type of payment is called “contingency fee.”
Our firm also routinely advances expenses incurred in the preparation and trial of a case. In most instances, we do not ask for the deposit of money to cover expenses. If there is a successful outcome, we deduct the expenses off the top of the recovery, and apply the percentages to the net sum. (In that way, we share part of the expenses).
Because there is a considerable amount of time and expense involved in handling a personal injury case, we are of course, cautious in accepting cases. We conduct a thorough investigation of the merits of a case before we accept it. This often involves:
- Interviewing the client
- Gathering pertinent records, including medical records
- Having investigators speak to witnesses, visit the scene, obtain accident reports, or anything else required to understand the case
- Having our experienced staff and, when appropriate, an outside expert (physician, engineer or whatever is required) review the case and give us an analysis.
If your case is similar to others also pending, we can spread the costs of preparation across all of the cases. This greatly reduces the amounts chargeable to one particular case. Further, on occasion, our fees are reduced by judicial order or paid by the defendant.
At some early stage in your relationship with us, you will be asked to sign a retainer. This is a written form which is a contract between you and the law firm. Its primary purpose is to set forth the fee arrangement so that there will be no disputes later about what you and the law firm agreed to. You should read it carefully and feel free to ask questions.
