Frequently Asked Questions

Our attorneys focus on car accidents, workplace accidents, falls in public places, and workplace issues.

Each case is different, and it is difficult to estimate how long yours will last. A car accident typically takes a year to resolve and a workplace accident can take up to three years. An attorney is the only one who can give you a proper estimate after hearing more about your situation.

Due to attorney-client confidentiality, only the law firm has access to the details of your situation. If you have questions about your case, you should speak to your attorney's office.

Only an attorney can tell you if he or she feels you have a case based on the law, the facts, and the circumstances of your accident. We can connect you to a personal injury attorney or workers’ compensation lawyer who can give you his or her opinion on your situation based on his or her experience and the information you provide. Calling 1-800-THE-LAW2 is your first step to finding out if you have a case and putting the power of the law to work for you.

Filing a personal injury claim and dealing with insurance companies can be a difficult, time-consuming process. Insurance companies and their adjusters can be intimidating and often offer you less than you deserve for your injuries. A personal injury lawyer is ready to:

• protect your legal rights
• work for you
• maximize the monetary compensation you receive

If you’re injured in an accident, ask a lawyer about filing a personal injury claim. It’s never too early to ask a lawyer.

Yes. Personal injury lawyers handle all legal forms and can deal with the insurance companies and adjusters involved in your claim. An attorney’s involvement can help you save time, money and frustration. Getting all your benefits can sometimes be difficult and it’s advised you do not speak to the insurance companies without a lawyer to protect your rights. Please remember, insurance companies tape record phone calls with their customers. Anything you say could be used to determine your claim. Ask a lawyer about what to do with any information requests from the insurance companies involved in your claim.

You have a limited amount of time to file a personal injury claim after an accident. The sooner you file a personal injury claim the better. The longer you wait, the less seriously the insurance companies may take your accident— waiting to file your claim could result in:

• the insurance companies offering you less monetary compensation than if you had taken legal action immediately after your accident
• losing out on benefits
• losing your right to file a claim
• having to come out-of-pocket for accident-related medical bills
• losing out on disability payments and compensation for lost wages

Ask a lawyer for help with the claims process. They can help file a claim properly and submit it on time. Waiting to file a claim could jeopardize your rights, your ability to receive certain benefits and potentially cause you to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in accident-related medical bills, disability payments and lost wages. Why risk losing out on getting all you deserve? Ask a lawyer about filing a claim today.

An attorney membercan help determine which benefits you may qualify for based on the situation surrounding your injury and the seriousness of your injuries. Some of the benefits you could qualify for include monetary compensation for emotional and physical pain and suffering, and financial losses, such as lost wages. Don’t forget to ask a lawyer about disability benefits whether they be permanent or temporary. Your attorney could also help get your accident-related medical bills and your auto repair bills paid.

To put it simply, it means that your 1-800-THE-LAW2 attorney works for you free of charge until your case is resolved. The lawyer only charges a percentage of the money he manages to recover for you, so you never have to put money out of your pocket.

Put simply, it means a personal injury attorney or workers’ compensation lawyer works for you, without charge, until your case is settled or you win at trial. If there’s no settlement or award in your favor, the attorney doesn’t get paid.

Our accident attorneys work on a contingency basis. This means that they don't charge you anything if they don't win your case. You do not pay anything in advance because the lawyer collects the debts and their fees from your compensation.

1-800-THE-LAW2 is not a law firm. We have a network of attorneys to whom we refer potential cases for free consultations. This allows us to have attorneys across the country who are ready to help.
