Your Questions, Our Answers:
There are many aspects of personal injury and employment discrimination related issues that make them not only stressful, but confusing to understand. We’ve taken the time to compile questions asked to us over the years by people just like you—people who had experienced some type of hardship and were ready to pursue their options.
We hope this helps you!
What are your fees?
COPPINGER CARTER P.S. LAW has a variety of fee agreements to meet different circumstances and needs which can include a flat rate one-time consultation fee, an hourly fee agreement or a contingency fee agreement.
What should I do after a car accident?
First and foremost, we want our clients to focus on getting the medical care that they need so they can heal quickly. It is also important to gather all contact and insurance information from all the parties involved, file a police report, take photos and contact information for any witnesses.
COPPINGER CARTER P.S. LAW also typically recommends that our clients keep a diary of important details while they are fresh in their mind, such as how the collision happened, the injuries they experienced, changes in symptoms, and how the injuries are impacting their daily life so that they have that information later on if there is a dispute with the insurance company.
What does contingency mean?
Contingency means that the client pays no legal fees for our time, but is still responsible for any costs incurred or advanced by the firm for the client until there is a recovery in the case. The legal fee for the time spent on the case is a percentage of the recovery. The percentage can vary based on the complexity, risk and/or stage of the case. Most personal injury matters are handled with a contingency fee agreement. At the attorneys’ discretion, such agreements will be considered in some employment cases after an initial review of the case.
Does a Personal Injury lawsuit or claim have to be filed within a certain time period?
Yes, most legal claims have a statute of limitations, meaning that you must file the lawsuit in a specific amount of time. The time period can vary depending on the facts and where you want to file the lawsuit, but generally speaking, most wrongful death and personal injury must be fully resolved or a lawsuit filed within three (3) years from the date of loss or injury.
