What is the average settlement for a personal injury?

It is difficult for anyone to accurately value your personal injury claim at the onset of the injury, because there are many different elements of damages that must be considered, including but not limited to the amount of medical treatment, severity of injury, duration of medical treatment and need for any ongoing or future treatment. Because a settlement brings a final resolution to the claim, we will typically wait until your treatment has ended and we have a full understanding of your medical damages, economic damages and non-economic damages (i.e. pain and suffering) before attempting to settle the claim.

How much does it cost to retain you as my attorney?

Nothing. Personal Injury is performed on a contingency fee basis, which means we only earn a fee when we settle or resolve your case. The attorney fee earned is a percentage of the overall recovery. If there is no recovery, there is no fee.

Do I have to put down a retainer or pay for the costs for pursuing my claim?

No. We will pay all necessary costs to pursue the claim, however, once the claim is resolved we will be reimbursed those costs from the settlement proceeds. If there is no recovery, the firm will not seek reimbursement for those costs.

“I came to Jack with a challenging claim as I'm a US citizen living overseas. He was so flexible in making time to have virtual meetings despite the 17hour time difference. He really went above and beyond what I ever expected of a lawyer dealing with my accident claim. Jack made sure to explain everything as much as I needed so that I could ultimately make the best decisions for myself. He handled the claim so professionally and quickly. It was a very unfortunate circumstance that led me to seek out his help, but he really made me feel comfortable and at ease to more or less leave the claim in his hands. I could not recommend him more! So thankful for his help! ”
