At Brighton Smith Hansbrough, we understand that you may have questions about your personal injury case. We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you get started.
Question 1: What should I do if I have been injured in an accident?
If you have been injured in an accident, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Once you have received medical attention, you should contact an experienced personal injury attorney to discuss your legal options.
Question 2: How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
At Brighton Smith Hansbrough, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that you do not have to pay any fees unless we win your case. Our fees are a percentage of the settlement or verdict that we recover for you.
Question 3: What is the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit?
The statute of limitations for filing a personal injury lawsuit varies from state to state. In California, the statute of limitations is two years from the date of the accident.
Question 4: What are my chances of winning my personal injury case?
The chances of winning your personal injury case depend on a number of factors, including the severity of your injuries, the liability of the other party, and the strength of your evidence.
Question 5: What should I do if the insurance company is offering me a settlement?
You should never accept a settlement offer from the insurance company without first speaking to an attorney. The insurance company is looking out for its own interests, and its offer may not be in your best interests.
Question 6: What is the difference between a settlement and a verdict?
A settlement is an agreement between you and the defendant to resolve your case without going to trial. A verdict is a decision by a jury or judge in your favor.
