Updates from the Exciting Field of Personal Injury Law
Average is 1/3. The fees generally range from 30-40%, but 1/3 is the most common.
Note, this is significantly higher than they make on an hourly basis due to the significant risk they end up with nothing at all after they’ve fronted the litigation costs.
This morning i was rear ended up by another person. Called the police and they did a report. The other driver was found at fault and given a ticket. I was asked by the police officer if i was hurt. I said i was not. About noon my neck became stiff and my back is aching pretty bad. I was advised to call an Personal injury lawyer. Let me get one thing straight. I am not in this for money. I do not want to sure for tons of money. Just the medical bills. so what should i do? contact a lawyer first and than deal with the ins company. thank you.
thank you amanda.
I would consult a lawyer first before you spend a lot of money that you may not recover. A lawyer can tell you what your rights are and if he/she thinks you will get a settlement.

Are you serious - ethics?
I’m a CPA and I would never handle a client out of my area of expertise.
Refer your friend.

It is always advised to get in contact with the personal injury lawyers and solicitors if you are considering filing a compensation case. There are many of us who suffer physically and emotionally at the hands of careless persons. But a times, our financial restraints keep us away from filing the case for the compensation.
These guys advertise heavily all over, in EVERY state. It’s NOT HARD to find a no win/no fee attorney, IF you have a good case.
If you can’t find someone willing to take your case on a no win no fee basis, it’s because you don’t have much of a case.
Just because something bad happens, doesn’t automatically mean you’re entitled to money. And, heck, "emotional damage", well, here in Texas, I tell my kids, "Cowboy up.".
I was exposed to mold and need to sue for damages
Hi M,
please do a search for tort law or toxic tort law in oyur area
what are some majors that i can take in college that will prepare me for law school. im looking foward to become a personal injury lawyer.
You will learn all you need to learn about PI law in practice. That’s why it’s called the practice. I doubt that classes in law school even properly prepare you for personal injury practice. So pick the major that best interests you.
You’ll be surprised at how much law school doesn’t teach you how to practice. It’s a broken system. Sure, you’ll learn that negligence involves duty, breach, causation, and damages, but how do you convince a client that you’re better than the next guy? How do you build experience in P.I. law? What ethical situations arise when you know you could be making money but you know the client is wrong or that the other side is incompetent? You’ll struggle with these issues, and no college major or academic program can adequately prepare you for it.
I’d hate to put words in your mouth, but I’m only venturing to guess that you’re interested in law school because it will provide security, independence, or both. The profession is actually not the lucrative and prestigious career as portrayed in mass media and in law school admission brochures. Imagine 100 applicants competing for a position that starts at 40k and requires a law degree. That’s 40k before taxes and student loans payments, which can be $1000 a month for some people. There are lawyers who can easily pay that, but most can’t.
