Winfield, MO Personal Injury Lawyer: FAQs

To get fairly compensated, you're (with the help of an attorney) going to need to accomplish a few things. To win a tort (injury) case, you're going to have to prove negligence, causation, fault and financial damages. Here are a few questions victims often ask about their situation:

• Can I afford a personal injury lawyer? You do not have to pay anything up-front to retain our services. Put simply, our Winfield, MO personal injury lawyers are paid with a percentage of the final compensation you recover — called a contingency fee — and you don't pay unless we win.
• What should I do after an accident? It's important to go to a hospital or see your primary care physician. Medical records are very important evidence. Even if an injury does not seem serious, 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 special and general damages. Damages may include things like lost earning potential, pain and suffering, medical expenses, loss of consortium, emotional distress, 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. We need to be able to 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, Have you had this kind of case before? Do you go to trial? How much or a percentage do you charge? How much can I win? 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.
