How the Claims Process Works

Our legal team begins the personal injury claims for all clients by filing a claim on the client’s behalf with the at-fault party’s insurance company. Once the claims process has begun, we conduct evidence collection, negotiations, and settlement attempts.

FAQ: Is hiring a personal injury attorney in Folsom expensive?

Our Folsom personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win, either through a negotiated settlement or at trial. Our clients do not pay any upfront fees whatsoever.

FAQ: What is the difference between a claim and a lawsuit?

A claim is the first step in receiving compensation from the at-fault party or their insurance company for a personal injury. Typically, a personal injury claim will require negotiation and settlement attempts. If that process is unsatisfactory, your attorney may tell you a lawsuit is necessary to recover losses. Your lawyer will file the lawsuit with the court and hold a trial. Then, depending on the nature of the injury, a judge or jury decides the outcome.

FAQ: Do most personal injury claims go to trial?

Most personal injury claims are resolved through settlements outside of court. Trials are the next option if parties cannot reach a fair agreement through negotiation or mediation. You can rest assured that our Folsom personal injury lawyers focus on fair settlements that make sense for the client, not just any settlement for the sake of finishing a claim.

Personal Injury Settlement Limits

No two injury cases are identical; some jurisdictions impose statutory (state law) limits on a plaintiff’s compensation for certain damages, such as non-economic damages like pain and suffering. These limits vary by state and type of injury. Hiring a skilled personal injury attorney will help ensure nothing is missed by carefully compiling all the expenses, lost wages, property damage, and other costs associated with the accident when deciding the amount to seek for a client. In most cases, there are no statutory limits to the amount we can recover for your injuries.

Choosing a Personal Injury Attorney in Folsom

Factors such as experience, track record of success, reputation, communication style, and fee structure should all be considered when choosing a personal injury attorney to represent you. Personal recommendations and online reviews can also be valuable in making an informed decision. At your free, no-obligation consultation, you can meet with one of our local Folsom personal injury attorneys to address the above critical factors.

FAQ: What is a contingency fee structure?

A contingency fee structure means that the attorney doesn’t get paid unless the client wins. Once a case is successfully resolved, a client will pay a percentage of the final settlement award. A contingency fee structure allows individuals to pursue legal action without financial risk upfront. Our Folsom personal injury attorneys only work on a contingency basis. If you don’t win, we don’t collect a fee.
