The short answer is that it depends on the law office you retain. Here at The Victory Law Firm, our fee is 33.33% of whatever we recover on your case. This means that if we don't win you don't owe us a dime. This also means that our interests are completely aligned. The more money we recover for you the more our fee is. Therefore, it is our best interest to get you the best outcome that we can.

Don't post on social media about the incident, anything you say on a public forum can and will be used against you.Don't skip doctors appointments.Don't talk to the insurance company without your lawyer present.Don't sign anything.Don't delete any evidence.

Yes, in some important ways - filing deadlines, comparative fault rules, and dog bite laws are different in each state. That's part of why our firm is built the way it is: Jason Kidder handles Arkansas cases and knows Arkansas law inside and out, and Aaron Sebastian handles Colorado cases the same way. You always get an attorney who lives and practices in the state where your case happened.

Not if it's not convenient for you. We handle consultations by phone, video, or in person, whichever works best for you, and if you're not able to travel because of your injuries, we'll come to you.

You can handle it yourself, but the insurance company deals with claims all day every day and you don't. They know how to minimize what they pay out, and what looks minor at first can turn into something bigger once you've had time to heal or not heal. Call us for a free consultation before you sign anything or give a recorded statement. It costs you nothing to find out where you stand.

No. We work on contingency, which means we front the costs of building your case and only get paid out of the recovery. If we don't win, you don't owe us a fee. That's the whole point of no win, no fee.

This comes up a lot and there are usually options. Some providers will treat on a lien basis and wait to get paid until your case resolves, and depending on your situation health insurance or med pay coverage may help in the meantime. Talk to us early so we can help you figure out the right path, don't just skip care because you're worried about the bill.

Once a case settles, the funds go into our trust account first. From there we pay off any medical liens or bills related to your treatment, subtract our fee and case costs, and the rest comes to you. We'll walk you through exactly what's being paid and why before anything goes out.

Fault gets determined by looking at the evidence: police reports, witness statements, photos, video if it exists, and sometimes accident reconstruction. Insurance companies also do their own investigation and they don't always get it right, which is one reason having a lawyer look at the evidence matters. We dig into the details instead of just accepting whatever the insurance adjuster decides.

This happens constantly, adrenaline masks pain and some injuries like soft tissue damage or concussions take time to show up. Go see a doctor as soon as you notice something is wrong and tell them it's related to the accident. Don't assume you're out of luck just because you felt fine at the scene, call us and we'll go over it with you.

Depends on what you signed. If it was just an exchange of information or a police report, that's normal and doesn't affect your case. If an insurance adjuster got you to sign a release or a statement right after the accident, bring it to us and we'll review it, that doesn't automatically end your claim.

An insurance claim is you or your lawyer negotiating directly with the insurance company to try to reach a fair settlement, no court involved. A lawsuit is a formal legal case filed when negotiations stall or the insurance company won't offer what the case is worth. Most cases resolve through the claims process, but we're ready to file suit when that's what it takes.

Generally no, filing a claim against the at fault driver's insurance shouldn't raise your own rates since you weren't the one at fault. Rate increases are more of a concern when you're the one responsible for an accident. If you're worried about it, bring it up with us and we can talk through your specific situation.

You may still have options through your own policy, specifically uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage if you carry it. We'll look at your policy and every other possible source of recovery, insurance isn't the only avenue depending on the facts. Give us a call so we can review what coverage applies.

Yes, you have the right to change lawyers at any point in your case. There may be some paperwork involved to transfer your file and address the prior attorney's fee, but it's your case and your choice. If you're considering a change, reach out to us and we'll talk you through what that looks like.

Any police or incident report you havePhotos of the accident, injuries, or property damageInsurance information, yours and the other party's if you have itMedical records or bills so farAny correspondence from the insurance companyIf you don't have all of this yet, don't worry about it, come in anyway and we'll help you get what's needed.

Typically the at fault driver's insurance covers a rental while your vehicle is being repaired or while liability is being sorted out, sometimes your own policy covers it too if you have that coverage. It depends on the facts of your accident and your policy. Call us and we can point you in the right direction so you're not stuck without a car.

You can often still recover compensation even if you share some blame, depending on the state and how fault gets divided. Being partly at fault doesn't mean you get nothing, it usually just affects how much you recover. We'll be upfront with you about how that plays out in your case.

Usually the recovery comes from insurance, not the individual's personal bank account, so their personal wealth isn't usually the deciding factor. We look at all available insurance coverage, theirs and sometimes yours, to figure out what's actually available to pay a claim. This is exactly the kind of thing we sort out for you at Victory Law.

If you miss the statute of limitations, you can lose your right to bring a claim at all, no matter how strong it is. Deadlines vary depending on the type of case and the state, so don't wait around trying to figure it out on your own. Call us as soon as you can so we can make sure nothing slips past a deadline.

No, you have the right to choose your own doctor. The insurance company may recommend a doctor for an independent medical exam later in the process, but your treatment is your choice. We're happy to help point you toward providers if you need one, but the decision is yours.

That's fine, we can still help or connect you with the right resources. The location of the accident usually determines which state's laws apply, not where you live, so this is something we sort out early. Give us a call and we'll figure out the right path forward together.

No. We work on a contingency fee, which means if we don't recover anything for you, you don't owe us a fee. That's what no win, no fee actually means at The Victory Law Firm, not just a slogan.

Yes, in situations where someone is incapacitated a family member or legal guardian can often step in to pursue the claim for them. This comes up more than people think, especially with serious injuries. Call us and we'll explain what's needed to move forward on someone else's behalf.

No, there's no limit. It's your case and you should feel comfortable reaching out with questions as they come up. We'd rather you call and ask than sit there worrying about something.

Once you have a lawyer, you can tell them to direct all communication to us instead. You are not required to keep taking their calls or giving statements. Let us handle those conversations so you don't have to worry about saying the wrong thing.

Yes, a police report is not the final word on fault, it's one piece of evidence among many. Officers don't always get the full picture at the scene, and reports can be wrong. Bring us the report and tell us your side, we'll look into it further before accepting anyone's conclusion.

It happens all the time, don't panic. Just tell us what was said and whether you signed or agreed to anything, and we'll take it from there. It's better to loop us in now than to keep talking to them without us.

It can, mainly because of filing deadlines and because evidence gets harder to gather the more time passes. That said, call us regardless of how much time has gone by, we'll tell you honestly whether you still have options. It costs nothing to ask.If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at The Victory Law Firm.
