3 Questions Everyone Asks, and 2 You Should Be Asking YOUR POST-CAR CRASHQUESTIONS ANSWERED
If you were recently in a car crash, you probably have a thousand questions bouncing around in your head. Luckily, our team is here to help! Below, we address three common FAQs — and two important questions most people don’t think to ask. 3 POST-CRASH FAQS 1. How will I get my car fixed, and who pays for repairs? The person responsible for the wreck should have insurance that will coordinate and pay for repairs — usually. But things can get complicated and insurance companies can try to weasel out. It's a good idea to talk to your lawyer about what to do. 2. How long will my case take? Most car crash cases take 6–12 months to resolve. That said, every person and every collision is different! Your timeline will depend on how serious your injuries are, because the biggest factor is how long it takes to finish your medical treatment. 3. How much will it cost to hire a lawyer? Our firm charges a “contingency fee” for our cases. That means you won't have to pay anything upfront when you hire us! Our fee comes out of the settlement, and is paid only when your case is resolved. This
amount varies for each case, but is usually between 33% and 45% of the settlement.
2 QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD BE ASKING 1.
Should I get medical treatment? Yes! Most soreness goes away after a few days, but whiplash
PET OF THE MONTH MEET FIDO is different from the typical post-workout soreness. Delays in treatment can impede healing. Additionally, any gap in treatment can damage your case. We can all agree, getting our bodies fixed is at least as important as getting our car fixed. 2. Can I do this on my own, or should I get a lawyer? You probably didn’t expect to see this question in a lawyer’s newsletter! The truth is that we don’t want you to go through the hassle of hiring a lawyer if you don’t have to, and there are a few situations where you don’t need representation. For example, if someone crashed into your vacant car and nobody was injured, you should be able to sort that out yourself. However, it's smart to call an attorney any time you're in a wreck.
