Q. I have been injured in an accident, when should I contact an attorney? A. It is important that you contact a lawyer as soon as possible after an accident occurs. Depending upon the type of accident and the persons involved, there are prescribed times within which notice must be given and there are limitation periods within which legal proceedings must be commenced. Speaking with a lawyer after an accident occurs helps prevent loss of a claim for damages caused by an elapsed time period.
Q. I've been injured in an accident but I can't afford to retain a lawyer, how can I get the compensation to which I am entitled? A. At Gregory J. Denney & Associates, P.C., we understand that injured victims are unlikely to be able to afford legal fees at a time when they are recovering from an injury. For this reason at Gregory J. Denney & Associates, P.C. your initial consultation is always free and we are often able to defer our legal fees until the case has been settled. In many cases there will be no fee if we are unsuccessful in recovering compensation for our client. There may, however, be fees for costs of pursuing the case.
Q. I've been involved in an accident, but I am unsure if I am able to commence legal proceedings, what should I do? A. At Gregory J. Denney & Associates, P.C., your initial consultation is always free, and there is no obligation on you to start legal proceedings. If you are unsure of your legal rights, contact one of our knowledgeable lawyers who will help you understand what your rights are and what actions are available to you to enforce these rights.
Q. How much is my case worth, and will you guarantee success? A. The "value" of your case depends on many factors, such as the extent of your injury, the amount of your medical bills, and your condition after you have finished treating. The calculation also involves the ability of the other party to pay a judgment, and whether you played any role in causing the accident.
We will not take your case unless we think it has a good chance of success. Even so, there are no guarantees. All we can do is give you a fair assessment of the outcome of your case based on our experience, the injury itself, and what jury verdicts have been achieved in cases similar to yours.
