What You Need to Know About Personal Injury Claims
Reasoned Advice from Seasoned Professionals.
Sound advice is one of the most valuable benefits an attorney can provide. In fact, that’s why the term “counselor” is often applied to lawyers. At the Louthian Law Firm, our personal injury attorneys have accumulated decades of experience in the legal field, giving us the perspective necessary to provide you with the guidance needed to help you make prudent decisions.
First, understand that your legal adversaries are already hard at work to exploit your situation and take advantage of your lack of experience. Your personal injury likely involves numerous insurance companies: your insurance, a third-party insurance company, and often other insurance coverage. For instance, a property insurance company may have coverage issues in a slip & fall, or a government entity might have responsibility if a poor roadway contributed to a vehicle accident. The insurance companies have already been notified and are on the job to limit their exposure, financial obligation and minimize your rights. Our Columbia personal injury lawyers will fight for your rights and fight for financial compensation.
We deal with the insurance companies. You focus on recovery.
We always tell our clients that if they are contacted by an insurance company that is not their own, they should direct them to us. It is a key aspect of what we do – our injury attorneys are the front line for our clients in many different capacities.
Attorneys do the legwork of a client’s case. This means handling routine paperwork, corresponding with others and building a case on behalf of a client. But a skilled, experienced attorney goes further than simply handling the day-to-day processes of filing a claim.
At the Louthian Law Firm, our experienced personal injury lawyers investigate every aspect of your case, interview witnesses, consult experts, research relevant rulings and prepare presentations for the pre-trial and trial phase of your case.
It’s important to understand that if you’ve suffered serious injuries and have a viable claim, you will be best served by hiring an experienced, skilled attorney. Our legal system is complicated, and it’s likely that the people that will be opposing your claim will have years of experience combatting claims just like yours. Attorneys make sure your voice is heard, your case is made clearly and effectively, and your compensation is as substantial as possible.
Our personal injury lawyer in Columbia, SC will fight to get you every dollar you deserve. Call (803) 454-1200.
Our Columbia Injury Lawyer Fights for What's Right
Do I have a personal injury case?
One of the first questions potential clients ask us is whether they have a viable claim. We offer free consultations so that we can hear the details of the case and give you a more informed opinion. However, we can tell you that you should ask yourself these two questions as a starting point…
1. Did you suffer a serious injury that has proven costly and burdensome?
2. Was the injury caused by a someone else’s carelessness?
If you answer yes to both of these questions, then you have good reason to explore your options.
How much is my injury case worth?
“How much can I get in a personal injury claim?” is one of the first questions attorneys hear from potential clients. Unfortunately, the answer isn’t simple. Claims can range from thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the circumstances of the case. The amount of money you’ve lost due to your injury (medical bills, lost income, property damage, etc.) plays a big role in how much you’ll seek in a claim.
You can also factor in “non-economic” damages such as pain and suffering. It’s difficult to put a price tag on these damages, which is why it’s helpful to speak to an experienced Columbia, SC personal injury attorney who can give you a better idea of how to determine the value of your overall damages.
How long does an injury or accident case take?
A personal injury lawsuit can last anywhere from several weeks to several months or longer, depending on the circumstances of the case. Factors that determine the length of a claim include the complexity of a case and the number of parties involved. If you want to get a better idea of your case’s time frame, speak to a personal injury lawyer in Columbia so they can learn more about your situation and give you an estimate.
How much does it cost to file a lawsuit? How do you get paid?
It won’t cost you anything to discuss your injury lawsuit with us. In fact, you will never owe us a dime in attorney’s fees until you recover compensation on your claim. If we handle your case, our fee will be a set percentage of any money we obtain for you.
Our Columbia lawyers work on a contingency fee, which means we only charge clients if we are successful in their claims. If we win compensation, we will deduct a reasonable attorney’s fee from the award. To learn more about our contingency fee, we encourage you to reach out to our Columbia law firm.
Many people are concerned about hiring a personal injury lawyer in Columbia, SC because they believe it will be costly. At the Louthian Law Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we charge you nothing unless we win your case. If your case is unsuccessful, we carry the costs. We do this because we don’t want clients burdened financially if they don’t earn compensation, but we also work on a contingency fee because we believe in our team’s ability to deliver results.
How much time do I have to decide to file a lawsuit?
The “statute of limitations” is the period after an injury in which someone can file a claim. In Columbia, SC, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims is three years from the time of the injury. It’s always in a person’s best interest to act quickly when considering taking legal action.
