After a car accident or another injury accident, it’s normal to have a lot of questions. Unfortunately, it’s nearly impossible to get clear, honest information from the insurance company. Here, our personal injury lawyers answer some of your most common questions.
Immediately after an accident, prioritize your safety. Move to a safe location if possible, seek medical attention, and call the police. Document the accident scene, gather witness information, and avoid discussing fault. Once you’re safe, contact LawyerUp® for guidance on your next steps.
Choose a firm that specializes in injury cases, has a solid reputation, a track record of high settlements, and offers a transparent fee structure. Client testimonials and reviews can also provide insights. LawyerUp® checks all these boxes.
It will always be an upfront contract between you and the lawyer. Typically, a contingency fee arrangement ranges from 25% to 50%. The exact percentage can vary based on the complexity of the case and the state at which it is resolved.
Settlements vary greatly based on the specifics of each case, such as injury severity, liability clarity, and the involved parties. It’s best to consult with an attorney to understand potential settlement amounts.
While you can file a personal injury claim on your own, it’s advisable to work with a skilled attorney. The process involves gathering evidence, determining liability, negotiating with insurers, and possibly filing a lawsuit.
