If you’ve just been injured, there’s a chance that someone else could have been negligently at fault, and you might be entitled to compensation. You’re definitely going to need an attorney if you want to get some retribution for the damage you’ve sustained to your body.
Personal injury cases are taken on contingency. Typically, you won’t have to pay anything up front. The personal injury lawyer will assess the strength of your case, and then handle the case based on a pre-agreed percentage of the settlement. Typically, personal injury attorneys will ask for 30% of the final settlement. When you’re talking about a 6 figure settlement, clearly you can see that it’s a lucrative position.

Console and Hollawell are a team of personal injury trial lawyers.
This is taken from their homepage:
“Personal injury cases are unique because they have the potential to disrupt so many parts of your daily routine. You may find yourself squeezing doctor’s appointments into an already hectic schedule, and some victims may experience fear or apprehension when facing circumstances similar to those that caused their accident. While a fire may damage a house and a theft deprives someone of a possession, a person who has sustained a personal injury must deal with that injury 24 hours a day.”
