DO I HAVE A CLAIM FOR MY PERSONAL INJURY?
Typically, if you are not at fault, and you suffered a threshold injury (permanent injury i.e. - broken bones, herniated disc, etc.; significant scarring; and/or loss of an important bodily function) then you may be able to recover for your injuries. Give us a call to discuss your potential case. The consultation is free.
WHAT IS MY INJURY WORTH?
There are many factors in determining the value of your case. Some of these factors include the seriousness of your injury, amount of insurance coverage, and medical treatment needed. During your free consultation, we can discuss with you prior experiences and recoveries we have made on numerous personal injury cases over the last thirty (30) years.
WHO WILL PAY MY MEDICAL BILLS?
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) pays your medical bills, up to $10,000.00. PIP is also called No-Fault coverage and it is provided through your own automobile insurance. PIP coverage typically pays 80% of your reasonable, related and medically necessary bills incurred as a result of the accident. PIP will also reimburse you 60% of your travel expenses which are associated with medical care.
WHAT IS THE 14 DAY RULE?
If you are injured, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. In order for PIP to pay your medical bills, you must seek medical treatment within 14 days from the date of the accident. If you wait longer than 14 days, you will not be entitled to your PIP coverage.
WILL IT COST ME MONEY UPFRONT / OUT OF POCKET TO HIRE AN ATTORNEY?
No, it will not cost you any money up front to hire our law firm. The law firm will advance all necessary costs to prosecute your personal injury case. When your case is successfully concluded, the costs advanced will be paid back to the law firm.
WHAT IF I DON’T RECEIVE A SETTLEMENT OR MAKE A RECOVERY?
If for some reason you do not make a recovery, you do not owe the law firm anything, even for costs advanced to prosecute your case.
WHAT IF THE PERSON AT FAULT DOES NOT HAVE INSURANCE?
One of the most important aspects of your automobile insurance is underinsured/uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. This protects you in case the at-fault party does not have enough insurance, or they have no bodily injury coverage.
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION?
The statute of limitations is two (2) years from the date of the accident.
