Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I have a case?

That depends. There are two distinct parts to a personal injury case: Liability (who’s fault was the accident, was the injured party also at fault?) and Damages (the injuries and resulting disability, the plaintiff’s suffering along with economic loss). If you have both a clear liability picture and serious injuries, then you will probably have a case.

2. How much is my case worth?

Law is not an exact science. Any lawyer that tells a prospective client a dollar amount at their initial meeting is both unprofessional and suspect. Evaluation is always complex and include things like: nature of liability, extent and severity of injuries, economic loss, and insurance coverage. It could take years before all those factors are clearly determined and an accurate dollar value is arrived at.
