Frequently asked questions

Trust the lawyer who gives you clarity, not pressure. They should explain the process in plain English, set realistic expectations, and focus on documentation, fault, and coverage.

A claim usually comes down to three things: you were injured, someone else caused or contributed to it, and there's insurance coverage available. If you're unsure, that's normal — a review can clarify that quickly.

We work on a contingency fee. You don't pay upfront. We only get paid if we recover money for you, and the fee comes from the recovery, not out of your pocket.

In most cases, yes. If communication has broken down or the relationship isn't working, switching may be possible. It's important to understand how fees are handled when transferring a case.

Get checked by a medical provider within 48 hours, open the claim and confirm coverage, and avoid guessing your way through the process. Early documentation protects both your health and your claim.

You can but be cautious. Insurance adjusters are trained to limit what they pay, especially early on. Avoid recorded statements or guessing about fault before you understand your injuries.

Do follow through with medical treatment and keep documentation organized. Avoid treatment gaps, early settlements, and statements that minimize your injuries.

In many states, you can still recover even if you share some fault. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage, but partial fault does not automatically eliminate a claim.

No. Police reports are important but not final. Fault can change when additional evidence — like video footage or witness statements — is gathered.

If negotiations fail, the next step may be filing a lawsuit. That doesn't automatically mean trial — most cases still resolve before that stage.

Most clients never step into a courtroom. Trials are rare. Even when a lawsuit is filed, much of the process happens between attorneys.

It depends on the injury, treatment timeline, and complexity of the case. Rushing almost always benefits the insurance company, not you.

Deadlines depend on the state, and the clock usually starts on the date of the incident. Waiting too long can permanently bar recovery.

Value depends on available insurance coverage, injury severity, documentation, and how the injury affects your life. There is no guaranteed number.

That's common. Symptoms often appear days later. Early and consistent medical documentation protects you if injuries progress.

That's normal. You don't have to decide anything immediately. Early calls often happen before injuries fully present.

You may have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage through your own policy that applies.

UM/UIM coverage is insurance on your own policy that can step in when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough.

Early denials are common. Liability is determined by evidence, not initial statements.

Truck accident cases often involve multiple parties — the driver, trucking company, trailer owner, or others. Identifying all responsible entities is critical.

That label alone does not automatically shield a company from responsibility. The relationship and control involved matter.

Not wearing a helmet does not automatically prevent a claim. How it affects recovery depends on the injuries and the circumstances.

Failing to see a motorcycle does not excuse negligent driving. Liability depends on evidence.

If the driver was not logged into the app, their personal auto insurance typically applies.

Different levels of coverage apply depending on the driver's status at the time of the crash.

Passengers are rarely at fault and may have access to multiple insurance policies depending on the situation.

A warning sign does not automatically eliminate responsibility. The question becomes whether the warning was clear and reasonably addressed the hazard.

Reporting immediately is best, but failing to do so does not automatically end a claim.

Slip and fall cases often turn on whether the owner knew or should have known about the condition.
