Personal Injury Questions and Answers from Top Attorneys
What is Personal Injury Law?
Personal injury law exists to protect you in the
event of injury to your person whether it is physical,
mental or emotional, as a result of someone else's
negligence.
Just because I was hurt does this
mean that I am entitled to be compensated for my injury?
The answer depends on the facts of each case. A person's
right to compensation for a personal injury arises when
several things happen. To be compensated, your injury
must have happened as a result of another person's when
they cause an accident. You will have also had to have
suffered damages as a result of this accident. However,
to ensure that your case is properly and professionally
evaluated, you need to consult with a personal injury
attorney about your accident. This personal injury attorney
will help you understand your case and provide a comprehensive
evaluation of your claim and be able to advise you not
only if you are entitled to compensation, but how best
to pursue your recovery. top

How
much will it cost me to use USA Hurt to find an attorney
for me
USA Hurt collects no money from anyone that is injured
or seeking a personal injury attorney. Likewise, the attorneys
who USA Hurt locates for victims of personal injury never
charge for their services unless they obtain a settlement
or verdict for their clients. In other words, the personal
injury attorneys don’t make any money unless they
obtain money for you – they don’t get paid
unless you get paid. When you discuss your case with an
attorney, they will discuss the issue of their fee in
further detail with you. top
What
happens after I have USA Hurt locate a personal injury
attorney for me?
Once a personal injury attorney is located for you, you
will have a consultation with that attorney. The attorney
will evaluate your case and determine how best to pursue
your claim. Once a retainer agreement is completed, you
have a personal injury attorney who will begin to work
on your case. The attorney will contact, with your permission,
any medical professionals who may be treating or may have
treated you; they will gather evidence and begin work
on settling your case with the Defendant or Defendant’s
insurance company. If a settlement can be reached, your
attorney will collect your funds and distribute them to
you. If a settlement cannot be reached, your attorney
will get your case ready for a trial so a jury can decide
your case. top
How much do I
have to pay the personal injury attorney that USA Hurt
locates for me?
Unless your attorney recovers money for you, you don't
have to pay them anything. When your attorney recovers
money for you, they will retain a percentage that you
and your attorney had agreed upon in advance. top
How long will it take before my case
is over?
Each case is different and your personal injury attorney,
when they evaluate your case can discuss a timeline for
resolving your case with you. top
