Answers:

1. How much does it cost to review a case?

Nothing. Reviews by our medical legal team are FREE. Often, we advance the costs necessary to investigate and file the claim, if the case appears to have merit.  Costs advanced are reimbursed to us at the case’s conclusion, after we make a financial settlement on your behalf.

2.  How much money can I receive from a settlement or judgment?

Case value depends upon factors including, liability, nature and extent of injuries,  permanent disability, economic losses, such as, lost wages and medical bills, disfigurement and other factors. While we may sometimes provide figures based upon results in verdicts or settlements of similar cases, no guaranteed method exists for predicting how much a certain injured person will recover in a particular case.

3. What is the statute of limitations (time limit) to make a claim for injuries?

The answer varies with each type of case. In some, statutes of limitation for children run longer than those for adults, some claims against public entities can only be filed within six months from the date of injury. Where injury does not show for many years after an  exposure (such as during a period of latency after exposure to asbestos) the statute of limitations may not run for many, many years. If you believe that you have a claim where the statute of limitations may be running, we urge you to contact us immediately.

4. Will my case go to trial?

The majority of claims we file settle before trial, without court or jury, but we can’t predict whether or not a case will settle. Therefore,  our attorneys prepare all cases for trial.

5. Are there special rules for claims against doctors or hospitals?

In Texas, doctors and hospitals are protected by special rules which limit damages that can be awarded against them. Other states require special notice to doctors and hospitals before suit, limitations on attorneys’ fees, and special statute of limitations provisions. This makes some cases economically unfeasible to pursue and unfair to harmed patients.

6. Do you handle cases for children and incapacitated or mentally deficient people?

Yes. Any settlements for children or the incapacitated are subject to court supervision, and all costs and expenditures must also be approved by a  judge. The statutes of limitation or children are different whether the case is one for medical negligence, product liability, vehicular negligence, injuries occurring in birth, it is essential to contact a professional as soon as possible.

7. What is a contingency fee?

A contingency fee is not paid until and unless there is a the successful outcome of a claim. Most personal injury claims use a contingency fee contract because clients often can’t afford to pay an attorney for services rendered on an hourly basis.  If we recover nothing for a client, we receive no fee.
