13. What if
I want to make a claim for my injuries?
If the other
driver was at fault, you may be entitled to compensation-for your personal
injuries, pain and suffering, car damage and other expenses, such as lost wages
or the cost of a nurse needed after the wreck.
If you plan to
make a claim do not delay. There are time limits for filing various types of
claims - so act quickly.
You will need
your own lawyer. An insurance company lawyer cannot represent you if you are the
person who is making the claim.
Lawyers at Law
Offices of Gary Green take car wreck cases on a contingent fee basis. That means
you do not pay the lawyer if you lose the case. If you win, you pay a percentage
of the money you get. We charge a smaller percentage if the case is settled
before the lawyer does all the work necessary to go to trial.
If we agree to a
contingent fee, we put the agreement in writing and give you a signed copy. The
contract explains what percentage the lawyer will get if you win and how it
might vary.
