How Much Will It Cost To Hire You?
We charge no fee unless you collect on all personal injury cases. At that time, we charge a one-third contingency fee. What this means is that once the claim is resolved, we get reimbursed for our expenses out of the award and take our one-third fee from the net remaining. Expenses are things like case filing fees, court reporter fees, subpoena fees, etc. that we pay for while your case is pending.
We will ask you to briefly describe your accident and injury and if there is a basis for investigating further, we will set up a meeting in our offices. If it is hard for you to get to us, we can arrange to meet at a place that is convenient to you. At the meeting you will tell us what happened and we will try and provide an early indication of the strength of your claim. If we believe you have a worthwhile claim, we will agree to be your attorney to represent you in your claims arising from the accident or incident.
We will immediately begin working on your case. We will obtain all available reports regarding your injury, gather your medical records and perform any necessary investigations, including interviewing witnesses, etc. At that time, we will usually attempt to negotiate with the insurance company. If the insurance company is not willing to pay what we have agreed is a reasonable settlement amount, we will then file a lawsuit on your behalf. Over several months we will then exchange paperwork with the insurance company attorneys and take depositions, where our client, the defendant and any necessary witnesses are questioned under oath. After all of this “discovery” is completed we will make every effort to resolve your claim for a reasonable and fair amount. If the insurance company continues to be unreasonable, we will ultimately have a trial.
Every case is different. Factors to consider are the seriousness of the injuries and the ability to establish the defendant was at fault for your injuries. Claims with clear liability and serious injury are obviously worth more than cases with lesser injuries or liability questions. Oftentimes, the amount of available insurance becomes an important factor in determining how much we may be able to recover for a particular case.
Insurance pays. If the case involves an automobile accident, insurance coverage is mandatory in the State of Michigan in order to operate a vehicle. Therefore, an insurance company will most always pay any settlement or verdict obtained from the person that caused the accident. Dog bites and slip and falls are all covered under a homeowner’s or business policy of insurance and most homeowner’s policies have coverage of at least $300,000.00. If you are called to be a juror in a personal injury case, remember: No matter how sympathetic the Defendant sitting in the court room may appear, nothing you do to fairly compensate an injured Plaintiff will affect that person in any way.
Our office encourages clients to call or email whenever they have a question. We know just how life-changing an injury can be and how important your case is to you and your family. For that reason, calls and emails are always returned.
Again, every case is different. Some cases settle without the necessity of filing a lawsuit and can be over in a matter of months. Other cases can be hard fought and last several months to over a year while waiting for a firm trial date from the court. The insurance company, the insurance company’s attorney, the judge your case is assigned to and the strengths and weaknesses of your particular claim are all factors that could affect how long it may take to resolve your case.
