In any type of civil litigation, including a personal injury case, deadlines and strict timeframes limit plaintiff options and control the pace at which the case will move through the judicial system and the rights of parties involved. If you are served with a lawsuit, you have a limited amount of time in which to respond or you may forfeit certain rights. It is imperative that you speak to an attorney as soon as you receive notice of any kind of legal process.
If you have suffered a personal injury or loss as a result of the negligence of another, or are involved in an insurance dispute, the period of time during which you can take action will be limited. Statutes of limitations vary depending on the nature of the injury. See a lawyer immediately in order to preserve any rights or defenses you may have.
Injuries & Accidents
Unexpected injuries can dramatically change your life -- in an instant. There seem to be hundreds of lawyers out there saying they can represent you. You have no doubt received several letters in the mail from attorneys if your injuries are a result of an auto accident. Ask the important questions:
How much experience do they have in this particular type of case? A motorcycle case has different considerations than a car case. Tractor-trailer cases can be very complicated due to different ownership of the truck, the trailer, the cargo, etc.
Will the attorney actually go to trial? More and more cases settle prior to trial through mediation. But what if the other side is unreasonable. If the insurance company knows your lawyer has a reputation for settling everything and does not go to trial —you can figure out whether they will offer you more or less money in settlement. Our firm will make every effort to present your case in its best light for settlement — but we will not hesitate to take your case to trial if that makes more sense.
Does the firm handle hundreds of cases? Many of the folks advertising on TV and everywhere else handle hundreds of cases. This may sound good, but they typically use paralegals to manage all those cases instead of attorneys. Just how much personal service and attention do you think you are going to get while competing with hundreds of other clients? Scott Law Offices is choosy about its personal injury clients. We handle serious cases and represent people who are honest, hard-working folks that need our help because they were genuinely injured. We love what we do, and love getting to know our clients, so if we take your case, it's because we really want it.
If you sign a release before reviewing your claim with a lawyer, you may lose your legal right to seek additional compensation.
A Lawyer on Your Side After Any Type of Injury
We provide aggressive and practical legal representation for people injured in any number of ways:
• Automobile and semi truck accidents
• Motorcycle and bicycle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Prescription drug errors
• Dangerous consumer products
• Workplace injuries
We use the latest technology to collect the facts and tell your story, both in settlement discussions and at trial. If your case calls for it, we have access to a nationwide network of experts, can use computer simulations to show the facts, have "day in the life" videos produced to show an insurance company or jury just how much your injuries have effected your life, and even have your X-rays computer enhanced to dramatically demonstrate your injuries.
We know you did not get hurt so that you could make money — no amount of money is worth what you are going through. Unfortunately, money is all the system has to offer. We understand. The point is that the person at fault should take responsibility and do the only thing that can be done — make sure the financial burdens of your injuries, both current and to come in the future, don't fall on you.
Free Consultations — No Fee Unless We Win
At Scott Law Offices, we handle all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This means that we take attorney fees as a percentage of your eventual settlement or jury award. We agree on the percentage in advance, and if we are not successful on your behalf— then we don't get paid.
