Oakland, MO Personal Injury Lawyer: FAQs

To get fairly compensated, you're (with the help of an attorney) going to need to accomplish several things. To make a successful personal injury claim, you and your lawyer have to prove negligence, cause in fact, fault and financial damages. Below are a few questions to ask a personal injury lawyer before you retain their services:

• Can I afford a personal injury lawyer? Halvorsen Klote does not charge any up-front fees. Put simply, our Oakland, MO personal injury lawyers are paid with a portion 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 very important evidence. Even if an injury seems minor, having a written document will help your case.
• How much is my case worth? There are a lot of variables when you figure out the economic and noneconomic damages. Damages can include things like lost income potential, pain and suffering, medical bills, loss of consortium, loss of ability to enjoy life, and others.
• What information do I need to give my attorney? The more information the better. 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 other questions should I ask before hiring a lawyer? There's a few things you should ask before deciding on a law firm. For example, Do you have experience with this specific injury? Are you willing to go to trial? What's your fee? What is the monetary value of my claim? How long does it take to get a settlement? 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.
