One thing that worries many people about a potential legal battle is the cost of going to court. While litigation is costly, victims of an accident seeking representation in a personal injury case pay a contingency fee. This means that we at Owen, Patterson & Owen are only paid a percentage of the compensation you receive for your case. Furthermore, all initial consultations are free – meaning, you are free to present your situation and learn more about your chances in and outside of the courtroom with no obligation to pursue legal action or take us on as your lawyers. Your success is important to us.

Legal questions we are often asked include: 

Q: When Should I Pursue Legal Action After an Accident?

A: Accidents and other incidents are complex by nature, but if you’ve had to call the police – which may be necessary past a certain amount of financial and non-financial damages – then it may also be a good idea to contact a lawyer. An initial consultation can shed a lot of light on your situation and give you a thorough plan to work with. 

Make the decision to seek legal representation as early as possible. It takes time to gather evidence and build a case, and taking the initiative is a good idea to display that your case is serious, and that you require compensation for the damages you have experienced. 

Q: How Can I Know What Compensation I Am Entitled To?

A: Compensation for a personal injury case is determined by what the other party is willing to pay, or what the courts determine to be an equivalent financial value to the financial and non-financial damages you have incurred. This can differ wildly from case to case, especially because financial and non-financial damages can be calculated in different ways. Insurance companies, for example, often use in-house formulas to determine what the potential value of a case might be, to determine their strategy during early negotiations. 

A consultation with a legal professional may be able to give you a ballpark figure for similar cases, depending on how your circumstances match up to other clients.
