A personal injury lawyer helps you get paid for injuries someone else caused — medical bills, lost wages and pain and suffering. Most work on contingency: they're paid a share of what you recover, and nothing if you don't win.

Questions to ask before you hire

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

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