Fayette, MO Personal Injury Lawyer: FAQs

You and your lawyer need to do a few things if you want to get compensation. To win a tort (injury) case, you're going to have to prove how the other party caused your injuries, causation, fault and financial, emotional and physical losses.

• How much does a personal injury lawyer cost? You do not have to pay anything up-front to retain our services. Put simply, our Fayette, MO personal injury lawyers take a percentage of any case victory — called a contingency fee — and you don't pay unless we win.
• If I'm injured, what do I need to do? It's important to go to a hospital or see your primary care physician. Medical records are very important evidence. Even if you do not have serious symptoms, having a written document will help your case.
• How much is my case worth? There are a lot of factors to consider when you figure out the economic and noneconomic damages. Damages may include things like lost income potential, pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss of consortium, emotional distress, and others.
• What information do I need to give my attorney? It's important to keep track of everything. Any witness testimonies, the name of the ambulance company, medical records, names, dates, phone numbers, pictures, expenses, and other material go a long way in a personal injury case. 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 injury? Do you go to trial? What's your fee? How much can I win? How long will the claim take to settle? Do I have a case if I'm partially at-fault? Do you believe in the merits of my claim? Why? Again, the more information the better.
