About the Fee:
Injury and death cases are generally handled on a contingency fee basis.The fee usually is one third of the net recovery, although in complex cases it may be higher. In either situation, there is no fee unless there is an award of damages or a settlement.
In most cases, Johnson & Combs, PC will advance the costs associated with preparing your case for trial. These advanced costs are reimbursed out of your recovery.
Other fee and cost arrangements may be available. Feel free to ask your attorney about other possible options.
Should I go to the doctor?
We encourage our clients to seek all of the medical care they reasonably need in order to make a full recovery. Your first priority should be to regain your health as soon as possible.
In the case of an accident, who pays my medical bills?
Getting appropriate medical care and paying for it is often the hardest part of dealing with the effects of an accident. In many instances, an injured person's medical bills are initially paid by their own motor vehcle or medical insurance coverages. We strive to obtain payment and/or reimbursment for our clients medical bills from the person or company who is at fault for the accident.
What about the damages to my car?
Usually our clients have settled their claims for damages to their car before we ever get involved with the case. If need be, we can pursue claims for the damage to your car at the same time we are making claims for your personal injuries.
How long will it take to settle my case?
In short, longer than you would like. The reality is that most injury claims are settled before they go to trial. However, the best settlements come when the insurance companies know you are ready and willing to go to trial and that you have an experienced trial attorney like those at Johnson & Combs, PC. We pride ourselves on our record of trials and settlements, and on getting the best results for our clients. Cases sometimes settle within a few months of an incident, but very often it takes longer. Our promise to you is that we won't stop fighting until we think we have achieved the best result possible.
