Personal Injury FAQs

1. What should I do immediately after a car accident?  After a car accident, prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Check for injuries, call 911 if necessary, and move to a safe location if possible. Gather information from other parties involved, such as names, contact information, and insurance details. Document the scene with photos and seek medical attention as soon as possible, even for minor injuries.

2. How long do I have to file a personal injury claim?  The time limit for filing a personal injury claim varies by state and depends on the nature of the case. Generally, you have a limited period (2 years), known as the statute of limitations, to file your claim. It’s essential to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to ensure you meet all deadlines.

3. How much is my personal injury case worth?  The value of your personal injury case depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and the impact on your daily life. Our attorneys will evaluate the specifics of your case to help determine potential compensation.

4. Do I have to go to court for my personal injury case?  Not all personal injury cases go to court. Many cases are resolved through negotiations with insurance companies or through mediation. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial to seek the compensation you deserve.

Family Law FAQs

1. What is the process for filing for divorce?  Filing for divorce typically involves several steps, including preparing and filing a divorce petition, serving your spouse, and attending court hearings if necessary. Each case is unique, and it’s advisable to consult with an attorney to guide you through the specific requirements in your jurisdiction.

2. How is child custody determined?  Child custody decisions are made based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include the child’s age, emotional ties to each parent, the stability of each home, and the parents’ ability to provide for the child’s needs. A family law attorney can help advocate for your desired custody arrangement.

3. What is spousal support, and how is it calculated?  Spousal support, also known as alimony, is a financial support payment made from one spouse to another after divorce. The amount and duration of spousal support depend on factors such as the length of the marriage, the recipient's needs, the payor's ability to pay, and the standard of living during the marriage. Each case is evaluated individually.

4. Can I modify my child support or custody agreement?  Yes, it is possible to modify child support or custody agreements if there has been a significant change in circumstances, such as a change in income, relocation, or changes in the child's needs. It’s essential to work with an attorney to ensure any modifications are legally recognized.
