Q. What do you mean when you say pluse cost advance

January 27, 2025

A: The 40% is the attorney's contingency fee - meaning if the case settles for $10k, the attorney gets $4k of it. Typically contingency fees in personal injury cases are 1/3 for pre litigation, and 40% for cases in which a lawsuit is filed. If suit is filed, costs can vary wildly. The attorney will advance all costs for handling the case, including service of process, court filing fees, costs for obtaining medical records, cost for expert witness retention, so on and so forth. They will get reimbursed these costs in addition to the 40% at the time of the settlement. If the attorney is charging you 40% out the gate, they have an idea of how they will handle the case. You should ask them about expected costs. ... Read More

Q. The other driver is at fault. Does my suspended license cancel their liability?

April 30, 2024

A: Not at all. The worst that can happen is you get a ticket, and if the citation wasn't given at the scene, I wouldn't expect one.

Q. Can I get copy of my apartment complex's insurance carrier outlining slip and fall personal injury damages coverage?

February 25, 2024

A: I'm sorry to read about your hip. They're not going to give it to you before filing a lawsuit. I've never seen an apartment premises liability case settle pre-suit. They're going to fight every step of the way. Your injuries are serious and you need someone willing and able to take on a premises liability case to the courthouse steps and beyond if needed. Luckily, there are plenty of us out there. Don't wait - call one ASAP.
