Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know I have a case?
If you’ve been in any way injured in an accident that wasn’t your fault, then you probably have a basis for a personal injury case.
As our team of Tyler injury lawyers investigate the circumstances of your accident, we’ll look to find evidence that proves negligence, liability, or intentional harm.
This can look different depending on your exact case but is the basis for pursuing a personal injury case.
How much does a car accident lawyer cost?
You don’t pay anything unless we win your case. Every part of our fees comes from what the judge and jury award you.
While we work on our case, you don’t pay us a fee or for the medical expenses you incur visiting doctors or going to physical rehabilitation.
What happens when you take my case?
When you hire us for a personal injury case, we’ll immediately begin investigating the scene. The first element of a successful personal injury case is finding evidence that proves the other party is at fault. Once we prove fault, we’ll move forward with the case in trial or during settlement negotiations.
Will there be a trial?
It’s possible that we take a case to trial. The circumstances of your case, injuries, and the defendant may require that we plead your case in court. This is especially true if an insurance company doesn’t offer a settlement that covers your expenses. Ultimately, it’s your choice to take a settlement or go to trial, though.
What is a settlement? Should I take one?
A settlement is a lump sum payment the defendant offers in lieu of arguing the court in a trial. Often, it’s less than you would receive from a judge and jury. It is simpler, though, and usually quicker than a trial. It’s your choice whether or not to take a settlement, ultimately.
