At Galfand Berger we know that many people are not familiar with hiring a personal injury lawyer or what the usual steps are in an injury case. Our lawyers have found that it is helpful to explain the way these cases are handled. If you are considering pursuing a personal injury claim, you probably have a lot of questions about this process:
Our Philadelphia personal injury attorneys understand that most victims of accidents cannot afford to pay a retainer agreement or an hourly rate for a personal injury lawyer. That is why Galfand Berger handles injury cases on a “contingency fee basis.” This means that Galfand Berger will only take a fee if your lawyer is successful in obtaining a money settlement or favorable verdict in handling your claim.
We will not charge you for simply talking to one of our experienced personal injury attorneys
The first steps your Galfand Berger attorney will take will be to conduct a complete and thorough investigation of your accident and injuries.
Over 95% of all claims that are filed in court are eventually settled without going to trial. Even though a lawsuit is initiated, there is a strong possibility of settlement at any time. While the case is pending, there are various stages in which a settlement can occur. Our injury attorneys always hope that a settlement that is in your best interest can be made at the earliest possible time.
The time it takes for your case to come to an end depends on a many factors, including whether a settlement can be reached, where the case is filed, the number of cases ahead of yours and the rate at which the other cases are concluded. The exact timeline is not possible to predict.
