Why Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
Personal injury lawyers specialize in litigating the trials and settlements that arise from serious accidents causing debilitating injuries. Recovery often requires extensive medical treatment, hospitalization, and time away from work. A personal injury attorney acts as the liaison between you and the insurance companies handling your claim.
The Kinds of Accidents Associated With Personal Injuries Often Arise From:
- Car Accidents
- Slip & Fall injuries
- Trip & Fall injuries
- Premises Liability claims
- Medical Malpractice
- Nursing Home Abuse
- Dog Bites
- Work related injuries
- Motorcycle Claims
- Wrongful Death Claims
- Truck Accidents
- Negligent security claims
Insurance Companies Are NOT Incentivized To Pay The Proper Amount
A personal injury attorney fights the insurance companies to ensure you are properly compensated for lost wages, medical bills, payment for pain and suffering, disfigurement and scarring, future medical expenses, and future lost wages.
How Do Personal Injury Lawyers Get Paid?
Personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee, receiving a percentage of the settlement — typically between 33.3% and 40%. Goldberg Law Group has charged 33.3% of the gross settlement since 1986, with NEVER any extra fee for filing suit or going to mediation. This contingency arrangement is different from the flat or hourly fees common in criminal or family law.
