Cottleville, MO Personal Injury Lawyer: FAQs

There are several things that need to get done if you want to win an injury case. To win a tort (injury) case, you're going to have to prove negligence, cause in fact, fault and financial damages. Below are a few questions you might ask about your claim:

• How much does a personal injury lawyer cost? Our attorneys do not charge any up-front fees. Put simply, our Cottleville, MO personal injury lawyers take a portion of any case victory — called a contingency fee — and you only pay if there is a successful resolution to your claim.
• If I'm injured, what do I need to do? The first step is to get medical assistance. Medical records are extremely important evidence. Even if you do not have serious symptoms, some injuries do not reveal themselves immediately, and delaying treatment could hurt your case.
• How much is my case worth? There are a number of factors to consider when you figure out the special and general damages. Damages may include medical treatment and rehabilitation, property loss, loss of income, pain and suffering, inability, lost earning potential, and others.
• What information do I need to give my attorney? It's important to keep track of everything. Pictures of the accident, witness testimonies, how much time you had to take off work, names and addresses, and other information are crucial for winning a personal injury claim. This documentation helps us justify financial damages.
• What should I ask my lawyer? You should ask a few questions before deciding on which firm you want to hire. For example, Do you have experience with this specific accident claim? Are you willing to take the case in front of a judge and jury? How much or a percentage do you charge? How much can I win? How long will the claim take to settle? What if I was partially responsible for the accident? What do you think my chances of winning are? Why? Again, the more information the better.
