A personal injury case is when a person is injured through someone else’s fault. For example, another motorist, or a property owner, or a manufacturer who makes a defective product that injures a person.
The answer to that question depends upon a lot of factors, many of which are not known until the facts of your case are thoroughly investigated and evaluated. Also, we may consider what a jury may decide in a case like yours to determine what your case is worth.
Yes. You should definitely hire a lawyer to represent you. If you represent yourself, you may make a mistake that could end up costing you a fortune. A personal injury case is not simple for a person to handle themselves. Also, gathering all the necessary information for your case is very difficult.

Each case, situation and client is different. The Thomas Creech Law Offices will have to conduct a thorough investigation and review of all the factors in your case. It is then that Mr. Creech will be able to give you a legal opinion about what the law allows for your individual case. Generally speaking, the law allows compensation for medical bills, pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, reimbursement for lost wages, and other areas of damages. The aim of the law is to compensate an injured person fully for their losses.

A contingency fee means that we do not charge an attorney’s fee unless we recover compensation for our clients in their personal injury case. The attorney’s fees are contingent upon there being a financial recovery made in the case. In most personal injury cases, we typically charge 33.3% of the total or gross amount of the compensation recovered off the top or before any other amounts are deducted from the settlement. Thus, the client does not have to come out of pocket upfront money for attorney’s fees. Under our typical, usual personal injury attorney fee agreements, the client pays the attorney an attorney’s fee only if a recovery is made on the client’s behalf. If no financial recovery is made, the client owes the attorney nothing for an attorney’s fee.
I practice law because I receive immense satisfaction from helping my fellow human beings in the aftermath of a serious personal injury or loss. I enjoy being there for people, and advocating for them when they need help the most in their lives.
It depends. If you feel that you did not do anything wrong, then you may not be at fault. And even if you were partly at fault, the other person may also share some of the blame. Call for a free consultation so that the Thomas Creech Law Office can help you answer this question in your case.
