FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
All personal injury cases are done on a contingency fee basis. Contingency fee means there is no retainer or hourly rate charged. The fee is based on a percentage of the settlement that you approve. We only get paid when your case gets settled or won in Court.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will schedule an initial appointment so we can meet the client and get all the essential information on the injury claim. We answer all questions, explain the fee agreement, and get signed medical authorizations. We stress the importance of communication with our office especially regarding medical treatment and continued symptoms. We will begin the process of requesting medical records and bills and notifying the insurance companies our representation. We will also send out a detailed letter outlining the process and what to expect during your injury claim. We make sure that all of your complaints are being treated and monitor your recovery.
