Frequently Asked Questions

You definitely do not need an attorney for every small injury case. In fact, our office does not accept cases where there is little or no property damage or the injuries are minor. Why not? Simple. In a small case the work required by the attorney is not that significant, and the added value to the case by an attorney would not be significant enough to justify the attorney fees and costs, and might leave little or nothing for you after your medical bills are paid. We don’t believe that would be fair to you. Nonetheless, you should CALL an attorney on every case to determine whether or not your case falls in this category, as your case may be worth much more than you realize. For example, some impacts are relatively minor, but the vehicle impact may have caused the client to develop symptoms of radiating pain from the neck down into their hands and fingers which may be a sign of a very serious neurological injury, particularly in older clients or other persons who are highly susceptible to spinal injury even from minor trauma. Thus, we strongly encourage you to call an experienced attorney in personal injury matters on every case so that you do not settle a case for hundreds of dollars when a short call to an experienced attorney could have informed you that your case was actually worth tens of thousands of dollars.
