Tomorrow we will pick up a second check from Gerry. In a very complicated case he was able to get us maximum dollars. What impressed me most was his willingness to say he had never had a case like our case, so he really didn't know how it would turn out. He used the expertise of his partner to navigate the case. We could not have been more pleased!

Sloat & Nicholson, P.C. is characterized by professionalism, compassion and thorough knowledge of personal injury law. This firm has very successfully settled three (3) of my family's personal injury cases over the past few years and we couldn't be more pleased or satisfied.
In each and every case, my family's experiences with this firm were nothing but positive. From the administrative staff and office support, to the paralegals, to the attorneys, themselves, this firm of true professionals goes far above and beyond most other law firms.
They offered extremely personalized attention and they listened to each and every concern we may have had, offering thoroughly knowledgeable, reassuring opinions and advice. Their compassion and genuine concern for their clients' unique situations were very clear to us - we felt it, it was palpable. We never felt as though we were in an intimidating, impersonal or 'stiff' law firm that was concerned only about the numbers of cases they could push through; we felt like we were among caring family.
They communicated effectively with us and in a timely manner, typically returning our calls and/or emails in the same day - often within hours - and even AFTER hours (well into the early evening). And the attorneys, themselves (Gerry and/or Randy), were typically the ones to personally respond/return calls.
Their strategies, projected timeframes and realistic expectations for each case were made clear to us from the start. Stress was minimized throughout the process, right up until the last moment when each case was successfully settled for the highest, most agreeable amount and in our favor.
What more could one ask for?
For these reasons and more, we refer family, friends and colleagues ONLY to Sloat & Nicholson, P.C. for personal injury matters.

Gerald Sloat represented me in an MVA in which I was seriously injured. He is a knowledgeable, experienced, successful attorney. More importantly, he is a compassionate, honest human being, which is essential when it feels as though your life is falling apart. I highly recommend him and his firm.

My husband and I were recently involved in a car accident. We hired Mr. Secrist to represent us in court after reading many of his successful cases. Having Mr. Secrist on our side was the best decision we ever took. He was very knowledgeable, right to the point; he clearly explained every step. The ticket was dismissed, everything was a success as we expected. The people that work in his office are professional and nice to talk to, they are always aware of any updates on the case, or you can directly talk to Mr. Secrist about the case. Thank you Mr. Secrist.

After being injured on the job, breaking my toe, the retail company that I worked for refused to get involved and help me get my workers compensation medical claims paid. The bills continued to pile up and were adversely affecting my credit. After numerous calls to the H.R. dept. and visits in person to the company, I was unable to get them to resolve the unpaid claims. This situation went on for over a year. I finally decided it was time to seek an attorney to help me with this. After hiring Mr. Secrist, the matter was resolved within just a few weeks. He contacted my former employer, medical providers and workers compensation to ensure that ALL of the bills were paid and there was not any outstanding medical bills on my accounts. Not only did Mr. Secrist resolve my case in a professional and timely manner but he also got me an financial settlement for my bodily injury! I was extremely happy and grateful to Mr. Secrist and would highly recommend him to other clients.

In January of 2010, I was involved in a sporting accident that put me in the hospital for 20 days, then in rehab for another 10 days. Upon release, I applied and received Social Security Disability. However, my medical bills were enormous. Cameron examined my situation and determined that the sports facility was negligent in the design of its equipment, so he launched a civil suit to recover compensation for my injuries. He was successful in negotiating a financial settlement that covered all my medical expenses. He was very detail-oriented about receiving all my medical records and documenting my injuries, so that the sports facility's insurance company was clearly faced with my ongoing disability and their client's responsibility. I am grateful for the generous help he was to our family, and the compassionate and considerate manner in which he communicated with me. Today, six years later, I am almost fully recovered but I will never forget the assistance Cameron was in my time of need.

Casandra has helped me with a case about a woman who has slandered, harassed and stalked me. Casandra has been so compassionate towards the circumstances I have gone through and kept her word above and beyond with my case. She is very prepared and listens well. She takes your case on with care and takes care of all the legal aspects and explains in detail laws that can be very confusing. She follows through always as she promises and never leaves a person in doubt when fighting for what is right. I have never once felt unprotected or lost in this process with Casandra as my advocate.

Ms. Kirsch was incredibly helpful with my need to obtain a restraining order. She explained the process and options I had, as well as providing me with advice on her recommendations. She was incredibly timely with contact with me, as well as the other party, ensuring they follow through with what they were supposed to do. I ended up with the results I wanted and she was integral in making that happen.

I hired Cassandra to help me with a Craigslist revenge case and she was not only helpful and professional, she was sensitive and understanding to the mental state the entire case put me in. She did everything in her power to make sure I got justice for the actions against me, and I am grateful to have found such a wonderful attorney. I would recommend her to anyone that is in need of legal counsel in her field of expertise.

We were very satisfied and happy with Zach Elsner and his Personal Injury legal team at the Sawaya Law Firm, and especially with the outcome of our personal injury lawsuit.
Zach Elsner, and his team were all extremely thorough, and great communicators. Zach provided us with very professional, experienced and insightful legal advice. This really assisted and positively impacted our decision making process.
This experience was incredibly stressful for us; but Zach's patience and understanding made all the difference during this arduous, complicated and lengthy preparation. He explained everything in detail without it becoming overwhelming for us.
We would most highly recommend Zach Elsner and his team, to anyone who is looking for outstanding and excellent legal representation. They're the best"!

I find it very odd to see the less than happy reviews for Sawaya. My experience was top notch.
I was hit by a car an now I walk like an Egyptian. Well, not exactly, but the long story is tedious and irrelevant. What matters is that I needed legal counsel to manage my claims process with the insurance companies. I was assigned Zach Elsner and Erin Threadwell as my legal team, and could not be happier.
Folks, these things are battles, and not the type that are won in days or weeks, but months, and sometimes years. Zach and Erin were perfectly communicative when I needed to act on something, had an update, or just the occasional check in to make sure they know where we all were in the process.
If your hurt, you need more than peace of mind, You need an advocate that is going to take care of business on your behalf. If you need a personal injury attorney, I think that Sawaya is a strong option. Highly professional, and more than anything else, I never felt like they were a bunch of ambulance chasers.
I hope I never have to use them again, but if I ever get rag-dolled by an SUV in the future, I know where to turn.

In September of 2014 I suffered a career ending injury at BNSF Railway. The RR choose to not do the right thing even though I continued to have faith in them. I talked to Jeff on a recommendation of a friend after many broken promises by BNSF. I had only done one thing wrong that night, and that was trusting BNSF to accurately train, and prepare a operator to safely work along side me. I talked with Jeff and he helped ease my mind and finally realize that the RR was not conducting themselves i my best interest or livelihood. My injuries physically were were permanent and the PTSD was overwhelming and learning to deal with it was life altering. Jeff worked tirelessly for me and my future well-being. He fought them like David and Goliath and we won. Due to his tireless work and knowledge of law and his belief in me when I sometimes didn't believe in the end. The RR may think they are a gaint, but they have definitely met their Goliath in his knowledge, strategy and ability to try a case. I was almost ready to settle, and am so glad I didn't and chose to go with Jeff. My life is much better, and I can live my new life without worries. Thank you Jeff, I highly recommend him as he is the best...

My parent was involved in a pedestrian/car accident and was incapacitated. There were five insurance companies involved. I tried going it on my own for a while until I hit a dead end and it became apparent that I needed legal assistance. It became very complicated; there was a lot of paperwork and it became clear that one insurance company in particular was playing me since I did not know the law and did not have representation.
I telephone-interviewed several Denver firms; then personally interviewed three, and in the end Melissa Winthers came out ahead. Lucky me. I made the right choice!
From the very beginning of our relationship, Melissa listened to me and what I wanted. She worked within those parameters, and never once tried to oversell me. It was complex and took time. I had no experience in these matters, but I had made some progress on my own with some of the insurers so it was important to me that she start in the middle. She did exactly that which demonstrated her integrity. The other attorney’s I interviewed were unwilling to do this which highlighted that they prioritized their own interest over resolving my dispute.
She treated me fairly and billed honestly. She acted as my advisor with some insurers and my attorney of record with others. There was a lawsuit and arbitration and she worked with me practically in resolving these conflicts.
I consider myself very lucky to have had the Universe point me in Melissa's direction at the right time. I would highly recommend her to anybody involved in an injury claim against an insurance company and in dealing with the Medicare bureaucracy.
Melissa provided me as her client, exactly what I needed, when I needed it, honestly and fairly. There is no better professional compliment than that!

I was involved in a motorcycle accident in another state, just prior to moving to Colorado. I had hired a firm, based in yet another state, who advertised themselves as "Bikers helping bikers". I assumed that they might have additional insight and experience, relative to my particular situation, so I went with them.
After a very short time of dealing with this firm, it was obvious that I had made a terrible choice!
Having never being in need of an attorney prior to this accident, I was not well versed in the selection process.
Aside from not having a face to face relationship with my attorney, I was unable to speak to anyone other than the receptionist and had to make numerous calls requesting a conference. When he finally did return my call it was generally several days later.
Mellisa was recommended to me by my chiropractor, and it turned out to be very fortunate and the best decision I could have made, not only because of the issues I was having with my first choice, but for the excellent attention and obvious abilities exhibited by Melissa and her support staff.
Melissa's knowledge of head injuries was very impressive, equal to her extensive abilities in the legal profession.
Their combined efforts resulted in a very favorable outcome and I would highly recommend Melissa Winthers to anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of requiring legal help.
She is definitely one of "the good guys!"

I was injured in an automobile accident when my car was hit while at a stop. For a while after that incident I thought I could handle everything on my own but as the months went by and I wasn’t getting any better and the insurance companies were not helpful I realized that wasn’t the case and decided to enlist some help. This wasn’t an easy decision to make and finding the right attorney was no simple task. Yes there are many to be found but after meeting with several I started to doubt my decision. I was extremely fortunate though when a friend referred me to Melissa Winthers of Fleishman & Shapiro P.C.
From my initial phone call into their office I could already tell I was in good hands and after meeting with Melissa for the first time I knew I had found the most qualified and best attorney to help me with my case. Throughout my entire experience with Melissa and Gina Powell (paralegal) I was treated with respect, honesty and true concern about how I was doing.
Every single phone call of mine was returned with extreme promptness, every question I had was answered quickly with all the information I needed. I was always informed of what was happening with my case, the details of the process every step of the way and what to expect each time we moved forward. I never felt insignificant as a client or unprepared for any aspect of my case. Melissa always explained everything to me without fluffing the truth or painting a picture she felt I needed to hear. She was always honest, extremely resourceful and pragmatic but at the same time kind-hearted, empathetic and extremely passionate about helping.
Gina also made sure that I had everything I needed (documents, answers, strong shoulder and big ear) and always took the time to make sure I was “okay” during the process. She deserves a medal for her organization and hand-holding skills that no doubt helped me make it through the process in one piece.
In the end Melissa was successful in producing a very respectable settlement for my case. To say I’m pleased would be an understatement. I never would have accomplished this on my own or (in my opinion) if I had hired another attorney. Her passion is her driving force, her knowledge in this arena can’t be rivaled and this is what makes her stand well above the rest.
I hope I never need her services again but if I did find myself with an injury from another automobile accident I wouldn’t even consider retaining anyone else.

On September of 2020 I was in a horrible motorcycle accident that resulted in serious bodily injury. I hired Sarah McEahern to represent me through this process. I wish I had the vocabulary to express how incredible she was on my case and as a person. My case was not a simple case, it involved the Federal Government due to the person who caused my accident was a Federal Employee. Sarah was relentless in perusing my case to make sure I was able to get everything I deserved. Sarah treated me with the utmost respect, care and compassion, not only towards my case but towards me as a person. When I was confused or didn't understand some part of my case she took the time and care to explain everything to me in a manner that I could understand, always leaving me with confidence and a state of calm. Her professionalism is un matched.
Whenever the opposition would try and slow down my case, or try and throw some curve ball Sarah was never fazed by it and instead would directly confront whatever issue they brought up and put it to rest quickly and firmly. Sarah is a no nonsense Attorney that will represent you fearlessly and honestly. She always let me know what my alternatives where and never made me feel like I was forced into any decision. I always felt in control of my case and her words to me always where "This is YOUR one case".
Sarah is an exceptional attorney. My case was Federal but it didn't start out that way. It started as a standard (my term) personal injury case and a short time into my case we found out that it had to be transferred/changed over to a Federal Torts' branch case. Sarah didn't blink an eye or miss a step changing gears from one arena to another.
I truthfully feel like an Angel sent Sarah to my corner to fight for me and win my case! Without Sarah representing me I don't know what would of happened and how things would of turned out. I would recommend her to anyone needing help with a Personal Injury claim.

Sarah and Monica were outstanding, the entire firm was outstanding!! Both Monica and Sarah were so helpful through the entire process of my accident. They made me feel so good and welcome. Not only did they handle my case with the utmost professionalism, but they generally cared about my well-being as well. Thank Sarah, Monica and to the entire firm. Without you and your hard work, I wouldn't be in the position I'm in now.

Sarah was my main contact at Zaner Harden Law. She and I interacted frequently on the case, as it progressed from trying to work towards a settlement to filing for litigation. Sarah was indispensable in so many ways, from helping relieve anxiety before deposition, to supporting me through intense crying jags as traumatic events were relived, to making sure all documents were filed correctly, and understanding the intricacies of my case. I never felt overwhelmed when she was in my corner. I always felt she was listening, understanding, and cared about everything related to my case, almost as if it were the only case she had, when I knew she had more. When I had a question (and I had many), she always took the time to clearly answer every one of them in a thoughtful manner. She is smart, articulate, caring, and she was always available when I wanted to talk or text. I would not hesitate to use her again, and I would highly recommend her.

Mr. Quigley joined our legal team rather late in the preparation phase of our trial. He was hired to litigate the trial. He rapidly came up to speed on the intricacies of our case. His work ethics are impeccable and his knowledge of court procedure is outstanding. at first I was concerned about his potential lack of experience (he is a young man), but he decimated the older lawyers on the opposing side.

When I hired McDermott law to represent me, Tim was assigned my case. I couldn't be more pleased. My appeal was built from the ground up with every piece strategically placed. Until now, I had no idea that insurance companies really are the way they are portrayed on film. Just plain sketchy. Tim remained diligent, asking questions and chasing leads. It was impressive.

I hired Tim when my disability carrier was stalling in paying my disability claim. I am an attorney, and had years of experience hiring and supervising other attorneys. I reached out to other attorneys I knew in Denver for a recommendation for this type of case, and heard back from two whose opinion I most respect that Tim was the right choice. They were absolutely right.
It wasn't just that Tim won (which he did), or even that he won when I probably would not have (which is also true), it was that the briefing was exceptional. I know a good attorney when I see one, and Tim is one of the best that I've ever worked with.
It is easy to hire the wrong attorney, especially if you have no idea what you're up against with these evil insurance companies. What I can tell you is that every aspect of my representation was handled at the highest level. Tim was absolutely the best hire of my career, when it mattered the most.

I found myself a victim of roofing contractor that took my money and didn’t perform any work. County law enforcement was moving incredibly slow and I did not have strong confidence I was going to recover any of my money. I decided to hire Stuart Morse Law firm. I mostly worked with Greg on my case and I was immediately impressed with this law firm. This team of law was able to recover all the money the contractor stole from me and almost all the damages the roofing contractor created. The Stuart Morse Team did a great job! Thank you!

John Holland is an incredible attorney, who is dedicated and has provided us with unending support. Some lawyers are personable and easy to work with, but John and his entire team made the process of one of the biggest hardships I’ve experienced the best it could have been. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he displays a great deal of compassion and patience ensuring we understood each piece of the puzzle every step of the way. He is successful in the court room, as well as out of the court room, and gives 150%. He is the very best at what he does. Having a stranger immerse themselves into your life in times of hardship is uncomfortable, but John made us feel like we’ve known him for a lifetime. He will be a forever friend of ours and I know that every day he’s having an incredible impact on those around him and his clients.

We retained John and his Firm to represent us in a wrongful death action resulting from resident violence in a senior care facility. John was not the first attorney we spoke to, but was the one we hired based on his demonstrable experience and impressive knowledge of the both the law and the senior care industry.
John worked with members of our family to design and execute an effective strategy that minimized the burden on us while maximizing our potential success. John deftly steered the matter into a negotiation that he handled quickly and secured an attractive and meaningful settlement. Our family was spread across the country and John communicated with each of us throughout the process, providing both timely status updates and beneficial counsel around difficult decisions.
I would not hesitate to reach to John again and would strongly recommend he and his Firm to a friend or colleague with similar legal issues.

Ms. McClintock provided very competent service to me. From the start of my case I felt like she genuinely was concerned and took a real interest in helping me. I never felt like I was just a client or number, but an individual that she wanted to help. She continually kept me informed and when court was going to happen she did her best to prepare me for what exactly would happen and the possible outcomes of the case. When my court date arrived there were no real surprises. She was completely prepared for anything the Prosecution presented. In the end she fought for me all the way and the final result was “Acquittal”. I couldn’t of been more happy with the outcome and service. If you need a competent and reliable lawyer Ms. McClintock is one of the best and one I would use again if necessary for myself or family. Fees were very fair and reasonable. So I will definitely recommend her to anyone. I can’t thank her enough for the service she provided.

I've never seen anyone work so fast for me on a case. If you ever need an attorney, contact Chad Hammett. He doesn't mess around he gets right to it and he doesn't turn his cases over to 20 different lawyers. He works for me personally and lets me know everything that is going on at all times.

This review a bit overdue; Kendra did an excellent job for me -handling my divorce. She was a mix of working nicely with the other attorney, but also being a 'bulldog' on my interest. I thought it was an excellent, intelligent mix of those two qualities. Her, and her staff, paid attention to every detail, all the paperwork, etc., was expertly handled in a timely fashion. I thought her costs were reasonable. Most of all, I enjoyed my time and correspondence with her. She is highly recommended.

Paige was absolutely amazing in my case in an auto injury. Paige and Brenda were always on top of my case and always kept me informed of any information they received. They answered any and all questions I had with no hesitation even if they had to go the extra mile to figure it out. These ladies took this case and sealed it without trial. I would hands down recommend this law firm to everyone needing an attorney.

I fell down my stairs in 2008. They were built incorrectly and not up to code. I sustained a neck injury and had to have surgery on my neck. I retained an attorney that I thought was going to help me but she didn't. I was very frustrated and disappointed so I did some research. I researched and contacted several attorneys in
Denver that handled slip and fall cases but was not satisfied with the initial phone conversations or actual meetings.
In June of 2010, I found Mr. Koupal on the internet and was impressed with his profile and credentials. I contacted Chris and set up an appointment to meet with him. I found Chris to be very knowledgable, professional, confident and a man of intregrity. Chris agreed to take my case and also helped me handle the dismissal of my other attorney in a very positive and professional manner. From that point on, he proceeded to research, investigate and move forward with my case. He kept me well informed almost on a weekly basis for over a year. Chris always emailed me back or contacted me by phone regarding the progress of my case. As a result from the neck surgery, I had accquired many medical bills that totaled thousands of dollars. I felt confident and at ease knowing that he was doing everything he possibly could to resolve and settle my case. Chris knew that I didn't want to have to go to trial and worked very hard to make sure that we would avoid going to trial. He had his work cut out for him as the builder had vanished which made my case more difficult and challenging. He managed to collect enough evidence to allow me to settle out of court and to reach an amount that I thought was acceptable and fair. I was very pleased with the outcome and would recommend him to anyone that needed a personal injury attorney. I have the highest respect and regards for him not only as an attorney but as a man who cares about his clients, his family and his practice.

Chris was introduced to me by Jim Chalat (Chalat Hatten & Koupal), who had originally met with me to gather the information and details about the case.
Chris, having been briefed by Jim as to the particulars, was immediately up to speed. He was very professional, thorough and knowledgeable as well as compassionate. His experience and expertise in the area of ski injury liability was very evident.
He always was extremely clear in keeping me abreast and explaining my options as the lawsuit progressed. My emails and phone calls with my concerns were always responded to quickly.
He obtained an excellent settlement for the circumstances that were involved. He followed up on the minor issues as well.
I recommend him enthusiastically without any reservations.

When I has rear-ended while sitting dead still in traffic, the insurance company first tried to say I was not a passenger in the car and after that they came up with all kinds of other stonewalling activities to keep me from obtaining a fair settlement. Roger is very clever and knows how the insurance companies try to give you the run around and is very patient and persistent with the letter of the law. He outsmarted them and squelched the agent at every turn and within a year obtained a settlement I could never have obtained on my own.

Roger came to meet me after I was in a motor vehicle accident and horribly injured. I interviewed multiple lawyers in the Denver area and none came close to touching Roger's honesty, professionalism, and mastery in law. The months that passed after the accident were the worst time of my life with numerous surgeries and rehabbing. One of the hardest parts was accepting the wounds and visual deformities that I would carry with me for a lifetime. I had hope in Roger and that there would be a light at the end of what seemed like a long dark tunnel. After working together for over 2 years Roger was able to reach a settlement without having to follow through with a lawsuit in the courts. A case like mine could have easily taken twice the amount of time. The outcome surpassed my expectations in each an every way and has changed my life and my future. I am forever grateful to Roger and know in my heart that the outcome would not have been the same (or nearly as fruitful) if any other attorney were to have taken my case. In the early stages of Roger's investigative work he was observant of some verbiage that ultimately won the case. How insightful he was to have found this clause..had it been overlooked the case could have had a completely different outcome. I would refer any of my closest loved ones to Roger if they were unfortunate enough to need a personal injury attorney.

Tom Blake took on my case that was feeling hopeless. The statute of limitations was about up and the insurance company I was dealing with was dragging things out to boot. I contacted Tom seeking some guidance or advice, "Was this really hopeless?" Not even expecting a call back. He personally called me back and heard my story. He assured me we could do it if we worked for it. He was right! Tom was brilliant. In six months, he took my personal injury case and completely turned the outcome around with integrity and honesty all along the way. I am grateful beyond words. I'd highly recommend Tom Blake as your attorney.

I went to Dave with an issue regarding damage to my home from a piano mover. Trust me when I say I was really angry and wanted a lawsuit against the company for maximum damages. Dave looked at all of the data and evidence I had and the estimated damage to my home and recommended that I just take the case up with my homeowners insurance rather than hiring him to take to court. It ended up working out really well and he helped bring me back to reality when I was just seeing red. I would definitely recommend Dave to represent you if you need an attorney to retrieve damages for you because he is really up front and wants to help. Thanks Dave!

He has taken a great deal of stress off our shoulders and has now helped many of my clients as well. I’m so thankful we have him as a resource.

Mr. Furtado was instrumental in our successful resolution of a large hail damage claim against the insurance company. He was extremely knowledgeable and his advice and strategy was absolutely client focused. His main objective was to get our damages covered. Most attorneys in this field seem to be focused on getting a reasonable settlement with with as little effort as possible. Others we interviewed were not as passionate or knowledgeable and were clearly focused on a quick settlement and little effort on their part. David understood our real need to get a new roof etc and kept this at the forefront and was willing to keep fighting until we were satisfied. Next time I will skip the public adjuster and go straight to David Furtado's firm.

David helped me with a domestic violence case that was complicated by exaggerated claims from the victim. My desired outcome was a deferred judgement which was not happening as long as the court had reason not to. David used extensive knowledge of procedural motions and the prosecution to gain victory after many months of work.
It was costly. But I am convinced I could have paid much more or worse, ended up with a domestic violence conviction permanently on my record.

What a Personal Injury Lawyer Can Do for You
A personal injury lawyer specializes in helping individuals who have been physically or emotionally injured due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another party. Whether you've been hurt in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or experienced medical malpractice, a personal injury attorney works to ensure you receive fair compensation for your injuries. They can help you recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related expenses.
Personal injury lawyers act as your advocate, navigating the legal system on your behalf and dealing with insurance companies to ensure you get the compensation you deserve. They understand how to handle complex legal matters and help you avoid common pitfalls.
When Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Hiring a personal injury lawyer can be beneficial in many situations where you've been harmed due to another's negligence. Some key scenarios include:
- Severe injuries: If you've suffered significant or permanent injuries that result in substantial medical bills, a lawyer can help ensure you are fairly compensated.
- Long-term or permanent disability: Injuries that affect your ability to work or require ongoing medical treatment are complex, and a lawyer can help estimate long-term damages.
- Disputed liability: If the responsible party or their insurance company denies liability for your injury, a lawyer can gather evidence and advocate on your behalf.
- Insurance company lowball offers: Insurers often try to settle personal injury claims for as little as possible. A lawyer can negotiate to get you a fair settlement.
- Medical malpractice claims: Injuries caused by a doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider due to negligence require a personal injury lawyer experienced in medical malpractice law.
- Exposure to hazardous substances: If you've been injured due to exposure to toxins, chemicals, or dangerous substances, a lawyer can help pursue legal action.
Hiring a lawyer early in the process is crucial, especially if you're unsure of the full extent of your injuries or damages.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do?
A personal injury lawyer provides a wide range of services to guide you through the legal process and maximize your compensation. They can:
- Evaluate your case: A lawyer will assess the strength of your claim and determine whether you have a viable case.
- Investigate the incident: Gathering evidence such as police reports, witness statements, medical records, and expert opinions is key to building a strong case.
- Negotiate with insurance companies: Lawyers handle communications with insurance companies to ensure you receive a fair settlement and aren't taken advantage of.
- File a lawsuit if necessary: If a fair settlement can't be reached, the lawyer can file a personal injury lawsuit on your behalf and represent you in court.
- Help calculate damages: This includes medical expenses, lost wages, future medical needs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress.
- Prepare and file legal documents: Lawyers handle all the paperwork and deadlines associated with your case, including filing motions and discovery requests.
- Represent you at trial: If your case goes to trial, the lawyer will argue your case before a judge and jury to obtain the compensation you deserve.
How Are Personal Injury Lawyers Paid?
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means they only get paid if they win your case, either through settlement or a court judgment. Here’s how it works:
- Contingency fee percentage: The lawyer will take a percentage of the settlement or award, typically between 25% and 40%, depending on the complexity of the case and the stage at which it's resolved.
- Costs and expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, the lawyer may deduct other costs associated with the case, such as filing fees, expert witness fees, and court costs. These expenses are often advanced by the lawyer and repaid out of the settlement.
- No upfront payment: Since the lawyer’s fee is contingent on winning, you usually don’t pay anything upfront.
Always discuss the lawyer’s fee structure during your consultation to avoid surprises.
How Much Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a personal injury lawyer depends on the specifics of your case and the lawyer’s fee structure. However, since most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis, the amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your case. Here are some general guidelines:
- Contingency fees: Typically range from 25% to 40% of the settlement or award. The percentage may increase if the case goes to trial or requires an appeal.
- Other costs: In addition to the lawyer's fee, you may be responsible for case-related expenses such as expert witness fees, medical record retrieval fees, and court costs. These are often deducted from your settlement, so you won't have to pay out of pocket.
While the cost may seem high, hiring an experienced lawyer can significantly increase the amount you recover, making it a worthwhile investment.
Top Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
Before hiring a personal injury lawyer, it's essential to ask questions to ensure you’re choosing the right representation. Here are some important questions to ask:
-
What is your experience with personal injury cases like mine?
Make sure the lawyer has handled cases involving similar injuries or accidents. -
What is your fee structure?
Clarify whether the lawyer charges a contingency fee and what percentage they will take from any settlement or award. -
How long will my case take?
While it's hard to predict, a lawyer can give you an estimate based on similar cases they’ve handled. -
How often do you take cases to trial?
Some lawyers prefer to settle quickly, while others are more comfortable going to court if necessary. -
Will you personally handle my case?
In larger firms, junior lawyers or paralegals may handle some aspects of your case, so it's important to know who will be managing your claim. -
Do you have references from past clients?
Speaking with past clients can provide valuable insight into the lawyer’s effectiveness and professionalism.
How to Check the Credibility of a Personal Injury Lawyer
To ensure you’re hiring a credible personal injury lawyer, take the following steps:
- Check bar association records: Verify that the lawyer is licensed and in good standing with your state’s bar association. Look for any history of disciplinary actions.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Online platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, and Google reviews can provide insight into the lawyer's reputation and client satisfaction.
- Look at their track record: Review their experience with personal injury cases, particularly how many cases they’ve successfully resolved or taken to trial.
- Ask for references: Credible lawyers should be willing to provide references from past clients who can vouch for their work.
- Check professional memberships: Lawyers who are members of respected organizations, like the American Association for Justice (AAJ), often have a solid reputation in the field.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first meeting with a personal injury lawyer, prepare the following:
- Detailed account of the accident: Write down everything you remember about the incident, including dates, times, and locations. Include any witnesses or police reports if available.
- Medical records and bills: Bring any documentation of your injuries, treatments, and associated medical costs.
- Insurance information: Provide your insurance details and any communication you’ve had with the other party’s insurance company.
- Employment and income records: If your injury has impacted your ability to work, bring proof of lost wages or reduced earning capacity.
- Photos or videos: If you have photos of the accident scene, your injuries, or property damage, bring them to your consultation.
- Questions for the lawyer: Prepare a list of questions to ask, including how the lawyer will handle your case and what you can expect in terms of timeline and outcome.
By preparing thoroughly for your first consultation, you’ll help the lawyer understand your case more quickly and get a better sense of your legal options.
