Frequently Asked Questions in Personal Injury Cases

An accident or serious injury can leave you with many unanswered questions and concerns. Here are some typical questions you may have about what to do and what we can do for you. Contact us for more information on how we can help you.
 
Should I contact a personal injury attorney immediately?
 
Yes. The strength of your case can be drastically affected by what you do in the hours and days after you suffer a serious personal injury. The Law Offices of Zev Weinstein can refer you to the right medical professional so that your injuries are treated properly. Your health is our first and foremost priority. Seeking immediate treatment is critical to establishing the cause and extent of your injuries and often times insurance companies use any delay in treatment as an excuse to not fully compensate victims for their injuries. The Law Offices of Zev Weinstein also contacts witnesses to preserve their testimony and collects the evidence you need to secure full compensation.
 
How do I pay for your services?
 
The Law Offices of Zev Weinstein considers all personal injury matters on a contingency basis, this means that if we don’t recover for your damages, we don’t receive a fee. Please contact us for further information regarding retaining us on a contingency basis.
 
Will I have to take my personal injury claim to court?
 
In many cases, especially those cases where a potential client contacts us right after the accident, we are able to procure a settlement with the responsible party or their insurance carrier without the need for filing a lawsuit. However, we will never settle a case without your approval, and if the settlement offer does not meet with your approval, we are prepared to take the defendant to court for a trial by jury if necessary.
 
How long does it take to settle a personal injury claim?
 
Every case is unique. Depending on the complexity of your case, the extent of your injuries, the duration of your medical treatment, and the willingness of the insurance company to offer fair and adequate compensation, your claim can take several months from the time you stop treating to a few years, if we are required to take the matter to trial. Personal injury claims that have to be litigated will likely take more time than those that settle outside of court.
 
How does an insurance company determine the amount to offer?
 
Insurance companies differ in their approach to handling personal injury claims. However, an adjuster will be assigned to your claim who will communicate with the Law Offices of Zev Weinstein. We will present your claim to the insurance company in a manner proven to get results. The insurance company will then enter the information provided by the Law Offices of Zev Weinstein into a computer program which will generate a settlement range based on the facts of your case. The insurance company will likely make an initial offer that is insufficient. That is where the knowledge, skill and negotiation experience of the Law Offices of Zev Weinstein comes into play. We know what is fair and reasonable and will accept nothing less for our clients.
