Frequently asked questions

Is the case review really free?

Yes. The review costs nothing and there's no obligation to move forward. Attorneys who take injury cases typically work on contingency, meaning no fee unless they recover compensation for you.

How quickly will someone contact me?

Most people hear back the same day. Our phone line is open 24/7 if you'd rather talk now.

Will this affect my insurance claim?

No. Talking with us does not file anything with an insurance company. It simply helps you understand your options before you speak with an adjuster.

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Not before you understand what your claim may be worth. First offers are often made before the full cost of your injuries is known.

What if I was partly at fault?

Can I still file a claim if I wasn't wearing a helmet?
