FAQS

Personal Injury Attorneys – Solomon, Sherman and Gabay provide answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Does a consultation cost anything?

No. Consultations are always free and there is no obligation to use us.

How will l pay your attorney’s fee?

Our attorneys represent personal injury accident victims on a contingent fee basis, which means we take a percentage of the recovery as our fee.

Will I owe a fee, if we did not recover any money?

You would not owe anything. You would not even owe us the costs. Obviously, our law firm expects to and does recover money in most cases.

Am I guaranteed a monetary recovery?

There are never any guarantees. However, if our law firm accepts your case, we feel there is a very good chance there will be a monetary recovery. We would not be taking cases and earning a living, if our attorneys were not successful at what they do.

How do I know if I have a personal injury case?

Please call our law firm to arrange your free consultation. A personal injury lawyer will review the facts in your situation, including the injuries you sustained, and explain your right to recover monetary damages.

What if the person who caused my injury does not have insurance?

You may still be able to be compensated. Our attorneys understand and investigate all alternative sources of recovery. In dealing with car accidents and other motor vehicle accidents, there may be underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage. When necessary, we look for ways to collect damages above and beyond available insurance.

An attorney can review all the options with you at the initial consultation. You should never assume there is no avenue of recovery without first consulting with an attorney.

How soon after I am injured do I have to file a lawsuit?

Every State has certain time limits called "Statutes of Limitations," which govern the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. Statutes of limitations vary according to the type of claim being presented and the state where the action is brought. In some states, you may have as little as one year to file a lawsuit for a tort claim. If you miss the deadline for filing your case, your personal injury claim can be dismissed. Consequently, it is important to talk with a lawyer as soon as you receive or discover an injury.

If you have been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in a personal injury accident, you may call our law firm at 215-665-1100 to arrange a free consultation.
