We get these questions often…

What factors can negatively impact my case?

Social Media, Surveillance & Neglect are 3 things that can negatively impact your case. If you are seen physically maneuvering in ways that go against the injuries you claim to have or if your social media contradicts your claim, you’re helping to build a case against yourself. Also, if you skip your Dr’s appointments you will appear as though your health isn’t actually the priority it should be. Be mindful of these things.

How long will my case take to resolve?

We try to resolve cases within weeks of your medical treatment ending; when you are back at your pre-accident condition or determined to be at the maximum medical improvement. This means that the length of your case is impacted by the length of treatment. At the time of treatment completion we will send demands to the insurance company for compensation.

How long after settlement do I get paid?

This varies depending on the complexity of the case but in most cases it takes 4-6 weeks for us to get the outstanding balances and leans, to receive and deposit the check and for the funds to clear. Larger cases may take longer because of the number of factors involved.

How do I get a rental or have my car fixed?

If you have collision or rental coverages we can begin that process immediately. If you don’t then we’ll make a claim with the other insurance company. There can be some delays like waiting on a police report or coverage investigation. Every situation is different but we will help navigate you!

How many cases file suits vs settling prior to?

Less than 10%! If we have to file suit it’s either because we are approaching the one-year deadline or the other insurance company is being unreasonable at any time. Typically we negotiate the best compensation possible without filing suit.

What is your fee and do I pay up front?

You don’t pay us unless you get paid! We operate on a "contingency fee" that is collected only if we recover money for you at the end of your case. You owe the firm nothing up front, and owe us nothing while your case is ongoing. The amount of the contingency fee is different in each case because it is not a set dollar amount. Instead, the firm is paid a percentage of the total amount you recover. That percentage will be agreed to before we start work, and it will be put in writing in a signed contract. So, there is never any uncertainty about how much the fee percentage will be.

What if I have questions about my case?

Our staff consists of two attorneys (Chaz and Bradley) and two paralegals (Sasha and Brittney) who work together on every case. This means that at any time you’ll have a fully-informed team ready to discuss any details or answer any questions you may have along the way. Communication is important to us!
