Frequently Asked Questions

Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?

Usually not before talking to a lawyer — first offers are often far below what a claim is worth.

What if I was partly at fault?

In most states you can still recover, reduced by your share of fault. A lawyer can explain your state's rule.

How much does a personal injury lawyer in DC cost?

Usually nothing up front. Most work on contingency — a percentage of your settlement or verdict — so you pay only if you recover money.

Should I talk to the insurance company?

Be careful. Don't give a recorded statement or sign anything before talking to a lawyer — early statements are often used to reduce claims.

Is there a deadline to file?

Yes. Every state has a statute of limitations, often two to three years from the injury, and sometimes shorter. Talk to a lawyer early.
