    FAQs about hiring a personal injury attorney in Rockford

    MichaelBy MichaelMay 4, 2022No Comments3 Mins Read

    You have sustained injuries in an accident, and it wasn’t your fault. Is that enough to file a personal injury claim? The short answer is no. There are numerous elements that matter in a personal injury claim, and it is best to seek legal advice before proceeding ahead. Your injuries should be a direct result of the said accident, and more importantly, the accident must have been caused by someone who owed you a “duty of care”. If you are hiring a personal injury attorney Rockford for the first time, these FAQs below will come in handy. 

    Is it necessary to lawyer up to file a personal injury lawsuit?

    No. You can choose to present your own case, but it may not be the smartest test. Your best bet is to evaluate what your claim is worth. For instance, if your losses are less than $10,000, you can possibly manage on your own. 

    When is it important to hire an attorney?

    There are some circumstances when hiring an attorney would definitely help. Consult an attorney if – 

    1. Your third-party insurance claim has been denied
    2. You have suffered catastrophic injuries
    3. You are partly to blame for the accident
    4. There is more than one party at fault
    5. You have suffered serious losses

    How much do personal injury lawyers charge in Rockford? 

    It depends on the facts of the case, but the good news is you don’t have to pay an immediate fee. Almost all personal injury lawyers take a contingency fee, which is a share of the settlement that’s payable when you win. Lawyers can charge up to 40% of the final compensation as their fee. 

    What about other costs of the case?

    The client must pay other expenses related to court fees, investigation, and traveling. If you are in a financial situation, you can talk to your lawyer, and they can help pay these costs until you get a settlement. You will still have to pay these costs if you lose. 

    How to choose an injury lawyer?

    Your best bet is to talk to an injury lawyer who has a credible work profile. Check if they have been to court for such lawsuits and whether they have been practicing for a few years. You can also ask for references or just check online for reviews. 

    It is best to lawyer up immediately after an accident. You have a short window of two years to file a personal injury lawsuit.
