Do I have a case?
An attorney from our firm will contact you to schedule a live consultation to advise whether or not you should pursue your case.
What are the fees?
In most cases, particularly personal injury cases, we work on a contingency basis. We only charge fees once you collect your settlement or judgment and that fee is negotiated on a percentage of the money you receive. Simply put, you don’t pay, even with long personal injury cases, unless we win money and we always provide you with a free case evaluation upfront.
Civil litigation cases often require you to pay a retainer before receiving services.
Do you handle property damage claims?
If we handle your personal injury cases after sustaining an injury in an accident, we can help you negotiate a property damage settlement as part of your claim.
Should I speak with the other party’s insurance company?
It’s never advised to speak with the other party’s insurance company until after consulting with a personal injury attorney. Saying the wrong thing can hurt an otherwise strong claim.
What is a wrongful death claim?
A wrongful death lawsuit alleges the decedent was killed due to negligence on the part of a third party and that the surviving dependents or beneficiaries are entitled to monetary damages as a result of the defendant’s conduct. A surviving spouse, children, beneficiaries, or dependents are the only persons who can make a wrongful death claim.
What are some signs of nursing home neglect?
Several signs may indicate your loved one is being abused or neglected in their nursing home. Do they appear to have low self-esteem? Are there visible signs of bedsores, bruising, weight loss, or weight gain? Are they taking medication that a family physician didn’t prescribe? These are only a few indications of potential nursing home abuse and neglect.
