HOW MUCH DOES A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER COST?

At Colson Hicks Eidson, we recognize that victims of personal injuries in Florida and elsewhere across the country are often placed into precarious financial situations. This is usually due to dealing with regular household expenses as well as incoming medical bills while also handling a loss of income because of the injury. That is why our personal injury attorneys in Florida take these cases on a contingency fee basis.

This means that our clients do not pay any upfront or out-of-pocket costs for their case, and they only pay legal fees if we secure the compensation they need through a settlement or verdict. We work with this contingency fee arrangement because we believe that injury victims should have the resources available to them to stand up to those who cause them harm.

WHAT KIND OF COMPENSATION IS AVAILABLE IN A PERSONAL INJURY CASE?

If you or somebody you love has been injured due to the careless or negligent actions of another person, company, or entity, there may be various types of compensation available for your claim. At Colson Hicks Eidson, our competent and experienced team is regularly able to help personal injury victims recover the following types of economic and non-economic damages:

  • Coverage of all medical bills related to the injury
  • Any future medical bills caused by the injury
  • Lost income if a victim cannot work while they recover
  • Loss of future earnings or future earning potential in cases of disability
  • Pain and suffering damages
  • Loss of personal enjoyment damages
  • Possible punitive damages against a grossly negligent party

 

The total amount of compensation available for these claims will vary depending on specific factors related to each particular case. This can include the severity of the injuries, whether there was any shared fault, the amount of a victim’s pain and suffering, and more.

Our litigation and personal injury lawyers have secured hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients in the following practice areas:

PREPARING FOR A CONSULTATION WITH A PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER

Again, you’re not taking any financial risk by hiring our attorneys to represent you when filing a claim or lawsuit. We won’t charge any legal fees unless you win your case.

You’re also under no obligation to hire us without first having the opportunity to meet with one of our experts to determine if our firm is right for you. During this initial consultation, you’ll explain the basics of your case and have the chance to ask questions about your claim’s potential value.

A case evaluation with a personal injury lawyer is most likely to be productive if you take certain steps to prepare for it ahead of time. They include:

  • Write a description of your accident: Describing your accident and injuries thoroughly and accurately when meeting with a lawyer is critical. In order for our personal injury attorneys to offer you a valid assessment of your case’s merits, we need to know how you were injured. Thus, it’s smart to prepare for your consultation by writing out or recording a narrative of the accident as you recall it. During your meeting with a lawyer, if you worry that you’re going to forget any critical details, you can use this as a resource.
  • Bring documentation of your losses: Although an attorney can’t ethically promise that you will receive a certain amount of money when your case is resolved, sometimes, during an initial consultation, a lawyer can provide you with a basic estimate of what your claim may be worth. They may be better-equipped to do so if you bring documentation of your economic losses with you to the meeting. For example, a lawyer may want to see copies of your medical bills and pay stubs if your injuries have resulted in lost wages.
  • Make a list of witnesses: In the aftermath of your accident, perhaps you thought to get the names and contact information of witnesses at the scene. Their testimony could help you demonstrate that you were not behaving negligently when your accident occurred. If you did gather this information, bring it with you to your meeting with a personal injury lawyer.
  • Gather any other evidence: You might have other forms of evidence on hand that you can share with an attorney during a case evaluation. For instance, maybe you have photographs of the accident scene and your injuries. You might even have footage of the accident as it occurred. If you were involved in a motor vehicle accident, you may have a copy of the accident report. These are all forms of evidence a lawyer might want to see.
  • List your questions: Remember, your initial consultation with a personal injury lawyer is an opportunity to ask questions. Bring a list of topics you wish to discuss so you don’t forget to mention anything.
