If you have been injured, you should contact a lawyer to evaluate your potential case as soon as possible. We can help you determine what the next steps should be.
Do not speak to anyone from the insurance company without first consulting an attorney.
Laws known as “statutes of limitation” require an injured person to make a claim within a certain period of time after their injury takes place. If you don’t meet that deadline, you can never bring a claim or sue for the injuries from that incident.
What can I expect from an initial meeting with an attorney?
The lawyers at Aversa & Linn will speak to you for free about any injury suffered by you or a family member. This initial consultation can take place in person or by phone, depending on what’s more convenient for you.
During our initial meeting, we will ask you questions about your injuries and the facts and circumstances about how it happened. We want to hear your story so that we can evaluate whether:
- You have a potential legal claim or case.
- The firm wants to represent you in the claim or case.
Usually the firm will be able to make a decision about representing you by the end of the initial meeting, but sometimes the lawyer who meets with you will need to discuss your case with other lawyers at the firm to decide whether to accept your case. The firm will call you with their decision promptly after your initial consultation.
How do lawyers get paid for personal injury cases?
If Aversa & Linn agrees to represent you in your case, we only charge a fee if we get you compensation for your injury — either by negotiating a monetary settlement with the defendants or by winning a verdict in court.
Our fee — sometimes called a “contingent fee” — is a percentage of the total amount of the settlement or verdict we obtain for you. We pay all of the upfront costs and expenses associated with your case so that you never have to pay anything out of your own pocket. If, for some reason, we are unable to get you the compensation you need, you owe us nothing.
If you take my case, what can I expect?
Our team will immediately analyze and develop strategic plans to keep your case moving forward to get you answers and results as fast as possible. We will keep you informed throughout your matter and give you access to our attorneys, case managers and paralegals to answer your questions and address any issues that arise.
You will work with a friendly, comforting and approachable team, who will take the time to get to know you personally. We will always respect and be sensitive to your unique circumstances, challenges and needs. If your case goes to trial, it will be handled by experienced attorneys with proven records of success.
Suffering an injury can bring great stress to you and your family. An experienced personal injury lawyer, like those at Aversa & Linn can help to ease this burden.
