How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?

Case duration depends on many factors on how disputed liability is. Simple cases with clear liability may settle in a few months, while cases requiring litigation can take one to three years. Our attorneys work efficiently without compromising your outcome.

These lawsuits can address different kinds of damages. Financial recovery may address medical expenses, future treatment costs, missed income, and vehicle repair costs. Compensation also extends to diminished quality of life. Where extreme misconduct is proven, punitive damages may also apply.
