Sacramento Accident & Injury Attorneys

Frequently Asked Questions: Personal Injury

Why should I hire your firm? We have been representing personal injury cases for many years. Our attorneys know the ins and outs of dealing with insurance companies, claim adjusters, expert witnesses and the civil court system. We also take the time to understand your situation during our free initial consultation, so as to determine what would be the best way to proceed.

Who will pay my expenses? Generally speaking, if we accept your case, we will advance upfront costs, which will then be deducted from the settlement amount.

How much money will I get if I win?  The settlement amount varies in each case, and is usually based on the severity of the injury sustained. The amount of insurance that is carried by the responsible person, or their ability to pay based on their assets, is also a determining factor. At our firm, we have experience dealing with a multitude of cases and use this knowledge to get not only a fair settlement, but the highest settlement possible to help you recover from the loss you have experienced.

Shouldn’t I just settle with my insurance company if I was involved in an accident with an uninsured motorist? If you are fully familiar with the laws regarding this, and completely understand your insurance policy, you could do this. But the insurance company is likely to try to get you to settle for a smaller amount than you are entitled to. Representation by a qualified Sacramento accident attorney will help ensure you receive the settlement you deserve.

Who will pay my medical bills? We have contacts with health care providers who offer medical treatment to our clients based on a lien. Once your case has settled, the health care provider will expect payment on the lien.

What if I can’t afford to hire a lawyer? You do not have to pay anything upfront, and our fee will be deducted from the settlement amount once your case is settled. We only collect our legal fees if we secure a settlement on your behalf!

How long will it take for my case to be complete, and for me to collect my settlement? Depending on the severity of injury, it can take anywhere from a few months, as in a small traffic accident, to years if the case is more complex, if several parties are involved or the injuries are extremely severe.
