Holts Summit, MO Personal Injury Lawyer: Frequently Asked Questions

You and your lawyer need to do a few things if you want to get compensation. To win a tort (injury) case, you and your lawyer have to prove how the other party is liable, cause in fact, fault and financial damages. Below are a few questions you might ask about your claim:

• How much does it cost to hire a lawyer? You do not have to pay anything up-front to retain our services. Put simply, our Holts Summit, MO personal injury lawyers take a percentage of any case victory — called a contingency fee — and you only pay if there is a successful resolution to your claim.
• What should I do after an accident? 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.

• What other questions should I ask before hiring a lawyer? The choice of a law firm is important, so you need to ask some questions before hiring one. For example, Have you had this kind of case before? Are you willing to go to trial? What's your fee? What is the monetary value of my claim? How long will the claim take to settle? Do I have a case if I'm partially at-fault? What do you think my chances of winning are? Why? You need to know as much as you can before making this very important decision.
