Common Questions Answered
Do I Need a Lawyer for a Personal Injury Claim?
Insurance companies often try to settle claims for as little as possible. An experienced personal injury attorney can help protect your rights, gather evidence, and fight for the full compensation you deserve.
What Can I Be Compensated For?
Depending on your case, compensation may cover:
- Medical expenses (current and future)
- Lost income or earning ability
- Pain and suffering
- Property damage
- Out-of-pocket costs related to the injury
How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Lawyer?
At Goodman Acker, we work on a contingency fee basis. That means you don’t pay unless we win your case.
