The act of filing legal papers at the courthouse is called “filing suit.” The client gives the authorization to file suit after all other options have been exhausted during the pre-suit period. When a case is filed with the court, it does not necessarily mean you will be accompanying your lawyer to court.
This depends on a number of factors, including the type of lawsuit and the state in which you live. Depending on where you live, and what the claims are, the time limit for filing a lawsuit after an event will be different. Laws called “statutes of limitations” set these deadlines.
Certain claims have a statute of limitations as low as two years, so it’s important to contact our attorneys today to discuss your case.
Each law firm has its own pay structure, but at Morgan & Morgan we believe that every person should have access to quality legal counsel regardless of income.
We work on a contingency-fee basis, which means you only pay us if and when we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of the verdict or settlement we obtain.
Determining the worth of your claim will depend on the type and details of the case, the severity of your injuries, and insurance limits, among many other factors. Specifically, when determining how much your case is worth, at least five things are likely to be taken into consideration, assuming that liability is clear. These considerations include:
There is no blueprint for determining a case’s value. However, based on our experience with past cases, we may be able to estimate a ballpark value of your case once we have gathered all medical records and statements and have an idea as to whether the client’s physical and mental state has improved or worsened from the date of injury, among other things.
