    Your Questions, Our Answers

    Legalese is confusing — we break it down, no jargon.

    Do I have a case?

    If you were injured due to someone else’s actions – whether a driver, company, or unsafe conditions – you may have a case. Every situation is different, so it’s worth speaking to our legal team to get clarity.


    We’re happy to help.

    How long will my case take?

    Most personal injury cases take a few months to a year to resolve, depending on how complex your case is and how willing the insurance company is to cooperate. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process.

    What should I do after an accident?

    Document everything. Take photos, get witness info, and seek medical attention — even if you feel okay. Then talk to a lawyer before the insurance company calls.

    Will my case go to trial?

    Most cases settle out of court — trials are rare. That said, if a trial becomes necessary to get what you deserve, our team is fully prepared to represent you all the way.

    How much is my case worth?

    It depends on factors like your medical bills, time off work, and pain and suffering. Our team can evaluate your case during a quick, free consultation.

    How much does it cost to hire a lawyer?

    It costs $0 upfront to hire our team — we only get paid if we win your case. No hourly rates, no surprise fees. You focus on healing, and we’ll handle the rest.
