Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I get after being injured in an accident?
If you are wondering how much an accident victim is entitled to, you are not alone.

Injured victims are typically eligible to receive compensation for:
- Medical bills and hospital expenses, including future medical costs
- Rehabilitations
- Lost wages and lost earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering

I got in an accident, shouldn’t calling my insurance company be enough? Why do I need to get a lawyer involved?
While your insurance company will help you with certain parts of the process following your accident, getting you the maximum compensation for your injuries is definitely not in their best interest. Insurance companies benefit from providing you a service at the lowest cost to them. The right injury lawyer will help you hold your insurance company accountable as they will uphold your right to a full recovery and the maximum compensation deserved for your injuries.
How long do I have after my accident to hire a lawyer?
Each type of lawsuit has a filing deadline. This deadline is outlined in its Statute of Limitations. These deadlines can differ from state to state, as well as from case to case. This is why many people make a big mistake when they hesitate to immediately hire an injury lawyer for their case. It is always a good idea to get in touch with an injury lawyer if you have been injured in an accident. Our team of injury lawyers can help you understand how the Statute of Limitations may affect your potential case and our team of legal professionals can give you a FREE no obligation, consultation.
What happens if the party who caused my injuries does not have insurance?
If the party that caused the accident and your injuries is uninsured, you may be able to file a claim under your uninsured motorist coverage, but only as long as you have this on your own policy. Uninsured motorist coverage protects you and your family in the case of an accident where the person at fault is either uninsured or underinsured. When this part of a policy needs to be used, the insurance company steps in to cover your damages up to the policy amount without any negative effect on your insurance history or premiums.
If you are hit while walking or biking and do not have care insurance, can you still bring a claim?
Yes. The insurance company of the person who hit you will be responsible for reimbursing you whether or not you have car insurance.
Can I hire an injury lawyer to represent me if I am undocumented?
In simplest words, yes! Everyone has a right to recover for their injuries, and being undocumented does not exclude you from this right. If you are undocumented, our team can help you get the legal representation you deserve for your injuries.
