Not every personal injury case requires a lawyer. However, if you attempt to negotiate directly with an insurance company you will lack the negotiation leverage required to force a reasonable settlement. Having an attorney means there will be “teeth” behind demands for compensation. 

Furthermore, attempting to resolve a case on your own prior to hiring an attorney could have a negative impact on your case if you decide to hire an attorney later. Harris Personal Injury Lawyers provides a free, no-risk consultation where the pros and cons of hiring a lawyer in your specific case can be discussed.

There is no such thing as a fixed price associated with a given injury. Each case is unique. A number of factors go into the evaluation of your case, including the amount of available insurance, the cost of medical bills and percentage of fault. 

Much of this information is unknown at the time of your injury, but as your cases progress it is easier to estimate the value of a claim. 

Our goal is to gather this information as quickly as possible, while also helping you avoid the tactics used by insurance companies to devalue your claim.

Your health should take top priority. Seek medical treatment for your injuries as quickly as possible. This will also be important documentation of your injuries when it comes time to present your case to the insurance company. After seeking initial treatment, contact Harris Personal Injury Lawyers before speaking with any insurance companies. 

Do not give a recorded statement. Preserve any evidence you think will help your case. Our firm will take over all communication with the insurance companies and coordinate your medical treatments so you can focus on resting and recovering from your injuries.

We only work on a contingency fee, meaning that if we do not win, we do not get paid. Injury victims cannot afford to pay an attorney by the hour. Our contingency fee is in line with other top-quality lawyers who handle serious personal injury matters. There are no up-front costs or fees with us.

Absolutely not. In fact, most clients want to avoid going to court. Court can take adequate time and patience.

We do our very best to come to a reasonable settlement before filing a lawsuit.

Each case varies and based on the type of injuries sustained. Most cases can take around 1- 6 months.  The most severe cases can take over a year. Asked us regarding your case so that we can give you a better projection.
