Free Initial Legal Consultation
My consultation on a personal injury case is always free.No Win - No Fee
If I accept your personal injury case it will be on a contingency fee basis. A contigency fee agreement means ~ no win, no fee; it means that I do not ask you for a penny until after we recover from the other side. Then, my attorney fees are paid on the pre-defined contingency fee amount.No Hidden Fees
I advance all costs if I accept your personal injury case. I do not charge you fees for consultations, opening your file, copies, long distance, etc. Before you hire a lawyer, make sure you find out what they will be charging you, as these hidden fees can add up.Filing a lawsuit, paying court costs and expert witness fees can be very expensive. I know that most people cannot afford these costs up front, so I forward these costs up front in every case I take. Spending a few thousand dollars on a good expert witness can make the difference between getting thousands of dollars and getting nothing for your personal injury claim. You will not have to pay those costs until your case is concluded. Before you hire a lawyer, make sure that they are willing to forward the money to adequately pursue your personal injury case. Otherwise, you may be forced into taking a minimal settlement if you cannot afford to spend thousands of dollars to pursue your personal injury claim.
I do not charge my clients a fee recovering their past medical expenses. Many lawyers charge a percentage of the total recovery, including your medical expenses. I base my fee on what is recovered in addition to your medical expenses. If your lawyer charges you for recovering your medical expenses it can significantly reduce how much goes in your pocket. For example, if you had $50,000 in medical expenses and a $100,000 settlement, your lawyer would get $33,000, $50,000 would go to repay your medical expenses, and you would be left with around $17,000. In a case like that, I would base my fee off of the $50,000, putting $33,000 in your pocket instead of approximately $17,000. The only time I charge a fee for recovering your past medical expenses is when someone other than you, usually your insurance company or healthcare provider, pays me to recover your medical expenses.
Q: Will I have to go to trial?
A: The vast majority of Washington personal injury cases don’st go to trial. However, I treat each case as if it is going to be a trial, because you have to be willing and prepared to go to trial to maximize your settlement.
Q: Why is it so important to hire an experienced Vancouver and Southwest Washington trial attorney?
A: Most personal injury cases settle before trial, but you want to maximize your settlement. If you hire a Southwest Washington personal injury attorney who has little trial experience, oftentimes they will be afraid to go to trial. Insurance companies know who these lawyers are, and they oftentimes offer them less than the case is worth. When I used to represent insurance companies, we knew who these lawyers were, as they would often settle personal injury cases for pennies on the dollar rather than go to trial. I have 10 years of courtroom experience and I have tried well over 100 cases. I have had much success in the courtroom and I will not advise you to settle for less than I believe your case is worth.
Q: Do I need a Washington personal injury lawyer for my accident claim?
A: In order to settle your personal injury and auto accident cases you will have to deal with insurance companies. Their goal is to pay you as little as you will take. It is tough for someone who is not familiar with personal injury cases to know what a fair settlement amount is. An experienced Washington personal injury attorney can help you to determine that amount and reach a fair settlement.
