What is a Personal Injury Case?

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.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

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.

The insurance company is calling me and wants to give me money for my injuries, should I even hire a lawyer to represent me in my case?

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. Trying to represent yourself would take a lot of time, hassle, and headache. Trust your case with the Thomas Creech Law Offices so you can focus on getting well and returning to your normal life.

If I have been injured, what does the law allow for compensation for my injuries?

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.

How long have you been practicing law?

Thomas M. Creech has been practicing law since 1997 giving him over 20 years of courtroom experience.

What kinds of cases do you handle?

As a personal injury attorney in Greenville SC, we handle cases of liability involving trucking accidentscar wrecks, motorcycle accidents, premises injuries that occur on the property of a store, business, or home; medical malpractice cases, injury from a dog bite, injuries caused by defective product cases.

What is a Contingency Fee?

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.

Why do you practice law?

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.

On the police report, it says that I was at fault in the accident, yet I do not think I was, do I still have a case?

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.

What is a defective product or a product liability case?

A defective product case or a product liability case involves when a person has been injured by a product while using the product normally. The product may have been badly manufactured, it may have been badly designed, or the manufacturer may not have warned about a product’s dangers adequately.

Do you handle trucking accident cases?

Yes. Thomas M. Creech has experience representing individuals and families in motor vehicle accidents involving cars and trucks. This includes cases involving large 18 wheeler trucks and semi-tractor trailers.

I was not injured but arrested for something I didn’t do. Is this something you can help me with?

Yes. Mr. Creech is a wrongful arrest attorney and has experience in handling false arrest cases.
