If you are injured in an accident, the most important thing you can do is collect and keep any available evidence that might show what happened. Obtain the names, addresses, and phone numbers of both the at-fault party as well as any witnesses, take photographs, and make a journal of exactly what happened. This evidence can be crucial to presenting your case. Police reports, medical records, business records, or other information can also be useful. If you need medical attention, make arrangements to get treatment as soon as possible. Make sure to tell your health care provider how you were injured. You should also consider consulting with an attorney as soon as possible to help preserve any evidence and present your case.

You should be skeptical of anyone who gives you a value of your case before all information is considered and especially before you are completely healed or have finished medical treatment. Every accident and injury is different. Case value can depend on the manner in which you were injured or the extent of your injuries or impairment, degree of pain and suffering, amount of past and future lost wages, and medical expenses. Only after a complete investigation can we assess the compensation that you may be due and assign a monetary value to your case.

A contingency fee is essentially an attorney fee. When a law firm works on a contingency basis, this means they only receive compensation if they are able to receive a fair settlement on behalf of an injured person. Typically, this is a percentage of the settlement or court award won. The contingency fee basis can be further explained during your free consultation with an attorney at Joseph Law Group.
