Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. The fee is usually a percentage of the settlement or award you receive. This arrangement allows victims to pursue legal action without incurring upfront costs, ensuring access to justice regardless of financial circumstances.
How Long Does a Personal Injury Case Take?
The duration of a personal injury case can vary widely depending on the complexity of the case, and the willingness of parties to settle. Some cases may settle in a matter of months, while others could take years to resolve, especially if they go to trial. In your free consultation at Hammer Injury Law, Rick Mallett will be able to provide a more accurate timeline based on the specifics of your case.
What if I Was Partially at Fault for My Injury?
Being partially at fault for your injury does not necessarily bar you from seeking compensation. The concept of comparative negligence allows for the reduction of your compensation by the percentage of fault attributed to you. For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for your injury, your compensation will be reduced by 20%. Your lawyer can help navigate these complexities and work to minimize the fault attributed to you, maximizing your potential compensation.
What Should I Do if the Insurance Company Offers Me a Settlement?
If you receive a settlement offer from the insurance company, it is crucial not to accept or sign anything before consulting with a personal injury lawyer. Insurance companies often offer quick, lowball settlements to resolve claims quickly and inexpensively. A lawyer can assess the offer to ensure it fairly compensates you for your injuries and negotiate for a higher amount if necessary.
