Questions people ask
Is there a deadline to bring a claim?
Yes. Each state has a statute of limitations, often a few years, and some claims have much shorter notice deadlines.
How do lawyers get paid in injury cases?
Many handle injury cases on a contingency fee, taking a percentage only if there is a recovery. Always read the fee agreement.
Should I talk to the other side's insurer?
You can ask a lawyer before giving a recorded statement or signing anything.
