General Legal Questions
Do I need to pay attorney fees upfront?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we win your case. This allows you to get quality legal representation without financial risk.
How long do I have to file a claim?
The statute of limitations varies by state, typically ranging from 1-4 years from the date of injury. It's crucial to contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence and protect your rights.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention immediately, document everything, avoid admitting fault, and contact an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How much compensation can I receive?
Truck Accidents settlements typically range from $50,000 - $500,000, but the exact amount depends on factors like injury severity, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, if the insurance company won't offer a fair settlement, we're prepared to take your case to trial to fight for the compensation you deserve.
