Frequently Asked Questions:
Brian Injury Accidents in Union County
Have questions about your case or what to expect? You’re not alone. Below are answers to common concerns from brain injury victims and their families.
How much does it cost to hire a brain injury lawyer?
We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing upfront. Our legal fees only come out of the settlement or verdict we win for you. If we don’t win, you owe nothing.
Will insurance cover my medical treatment?
Possibly. Depending on the circumstances of your injury and insurance policies involved, some or all of your treatment may be covered. We help you navigate the insurance maze to get the care you need without delay.
How long will my case take?
It varies. Some cases settle in a few months; others may take a year or more. Factors include the severity of your injury, the cooperation of the other side, and whether a lawsuit is filed. We keep you informed every step of the way.
What if I don’t remember the accident?
Memory loss is common in brain injury cases. That doesn’t mean you don’t have a case. We can build your case using medical records, accident reports, witnesses, and expert analysis.
Will I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many cases are resolved through negotiations. However, we prepare every case as if it’s going to trial, so we’re always ready to fight for you in court if needed.

Our results are driven by relentless preparation, expert resources, and commitment to justice. While every case is unique, here are just a few examples of successful outcomes we’ve achieved for brain injury clients:
