Questions to ask before you hire
- Do you work on contingency, and what percentage?
- Have you handled injuries like mine in DC?
- Will you take my case to trial if needed?
- Who pays case costs if we lose?
- How long do cases like this take?

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
