Frequently Asked Questions
Looking for a Personal Injury Attorney in Clifton?
When should I contact an attorney after suffering an injury accident?
It is important to contact an attorney as soon as it is safe for you to do so. In almost all accident cases, insurance companies will begin to immediately investigate the incident in order to build a case against a victim's personal injury claim. If you wait too long to contact a Clifton personal injury attorney from The Law Offices of James Vasquez, P.C. about your case, it may give the insurance company the advantage and reduce your chances of obtaining fair injury compensation.
What amount of compensation will I be able to secure in my case?
No two personal injury cases are the same. The amount of compensation you are able to obtain depends on the specific circumstances of your case, including several factors that will be taken into account by an insurance company or a court.
What are the factors that are considered in placing a value on my case?
The potential value of your case is dependent upon factors that include:
- The clarity of liability in the accident
- The extent of the responsible party's negligence
- The severity of your injuries
- Your claims history
- Whether or not you also displayed negligence
- Your age and the type of medical treatment you received
What type of compensation will I be entitled to?
In the aftermath of your accident, you may be able to recover damages in regards to:
- Medical expenses
- Future medical expenses
- Lost wages or business profits
- Future lost wages or profits
- Pain and suffering
How long will my case take?
That again depends on the circumstances surrounding your case. Obtaining a favorable settlement could take weeks, months, or years, or the insurance company may be willing to grant you a favorable settlement right away. If legal action becomes necessary, the time frame may be substantial, as lawsuits can be fought for years.
