How much will it cost me to have a lawyer handle my personal injury case?
The Warshauer Law Group, P.C. accepts cases on a contingency fee basis under a written contract of representation. This means that the cost of handling your case will be incurred by our firm. Upon resolution of your personal injury case, attorney fees will be deducted from your total award. Those fees are set out in detail in our contract with you.
Will my personal injury case go to trial?
The majority of personal injury cases do not go to trial; in fact, statistics show that 90 percent of civil claims are settled before they ever go to trial. Although our personal injury lawyers have had great success obtaining favorable settlements for our clients, we are not afraid to file suit and take a case to court. Our aggressive representation enables us to achieve excellent results both in and out of court.
Do I have to file my case within a certain time period?
Most personal injury claims must be filed within a set period of time, usually dependent upon the location in which the injury or accident occurred. The time period is typically determined by each state's statute of limitations laws. Each case is different and it is always important to speak with an experienced personal injury attorney to determine the specific deadline which will apply to your case.
Will I obtain compensation for my lawsuit?
An attorney cannot make promises regarding compensation in personal injury cases. If you suspect you have a viable lawsuit, the best you thing you can do is consult an experienced personal injury attorney for a case evaluation. A lawyer can review the specifics of your claim to determine whether you may have a valid case. If you suspect you have a valid case, our Atlanta, Georgia, civil justice lawyers can advise you as to whether you should move forward with your case.
Why should I hire a personal injury attorney?
A personal injury attorney who is well-versed in the laws surrounding personal injury claims and has court experience can increase your chances of obtaining a favorable settlement or verdict. In addition to confirming that you have a case, a lawyer can advise you of your legal options, determine whether a case should be filed, whether an offer should be accepted, and evaluate all of the complicated legal aspects of your case.
