Frequently Asked Questions:
- Do I need a lawyer for a car accident claim? Yes. Insurance companies aim to minimize payouts. An attorney ensures you’re not pressured into a settlement that doesn’t meet your needs.
- How long do I have to file a car accident claim? Each state has a “statute of limitations.” In most states, it’s between 2–4 years from the date of the accident. Contact us as soon as possible to protect your rights.
- What if the other driver doesn’t have insurance? You may still be able to recover through your own uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. We can review your policy and explore other options.
- How much does it cost to hire your firm? We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case.
