At HawkLaw, we see you. We see the pain and suffering you are facing because of the mistakes of others. We know that you are worried about paying your rent and keeping your head above water while you cannot work. We also know the challenges insurance companies often needlessly introduce to your case. Our personal injury lawyers serving Overbrook are the advocates you need to effectively navigate these challenges.
What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Do for Clients in Overbrook?
At HawkLaw, we aim to make sure you know exactly what to expect when you contact us. We discuss your accident or injury with you upfront. Our team is always committed to understanding every nuance of what happened so we can find out why. We care about your sleepless nights and frustrating conversations with insurance adjusters.
Then, we go to work for you. We review your police report to find out what missing information or gaps are present. Expect us to investigate your case thoroughly, uncovering all aspects possible. We look for data on what the driver was doing before the accident or what type of warnings the property owner already had about their dangerous property. Expect us to talk to witnesses, find videos if they are out there, and build a clear strategy for you. It is critical to understand the cause of your injury so we know all parties responsible. That means going after all people and businesses that let this happen to you.
Expect your personal injury lawyer to then start building your claim. We look at how this incident hurt you and impacted your life. After maximizing evidence to substantiate your claim, we fight for you with the insurance companies.
What does HawkLaw do for you, then? We level the playing field. We believe in fighting aggressively to pursue truly fair compensation for victims. With over 20 years of experience fighting insurance companies under our belt, we know how to get results.
What Kind of Cases Do Your Personal Injury Lawyers Serving Overbrook Handle?
Your injuries are serious changes in your life right now and could impact your future for decades. We help people who have sustained injuries like:
How Long Should a Personal Injury Case Take to Settle?
In an ideal world, insurance companies would play fair and your claim would be settled within a few weeks of your injury. Unfortunately, that’s not how it usually works. The length of your case depends on many factors, including:
- The severity of your injuries
- How long does it take to get to your maximum point of recovery (when you will not likely improve anymore)
- Disputes over fault
- How willing the insurance company is to work with you
- The negotiation skills of your Overbrook personal injury lawyer
- How backed up the courts are
Working with a personal injury lawyer serving Overbrook could potentially speed the process up; most insurance companies are more willing to negotiate in good faith when they see you have an attorney on your side. They certainly know what to expect with us. But the truth is that we don’t know until we can review your case.
How Much Do Personal Injury Lawyers Cost in Overbrook?
The typical cost of a personal injury lawyer in or near Overbrook ranges from 30 to 33% of the final settlement amount because most injury lawyers work on contingency.* That means our pay is contingent upon winning. It also means that we front all the costs associated with your case, from consultations to filing fees, so you never pay for anything out-of-pocket.* We only get paid after we win your case or reach a successful settlement resolution.*
What Damages Can I Seek in an Overbrook Personal Injury Case?
The law affords victims the right to seek full compensation for any losses they can demonstrate from an accident caused by others. The hard part is that you are responsible for documenting all of your injuries and other losses. Our personal injury lawyers serving Overbrook will get into your case to determine all losses you have – physical, emotional, and financial – to maximize your claim. Some of the most common types of damages we see include both economic and non-economic losses.
Economic Losses
These are losses with a typical, easy-to-understand value. Examples include:
- Medical expenses, including emergency medical care, ongoing care, and recovery-related costs
- Property damage to repair or replace damaged personal property
- Lost wages from missed time at work, loss of benefits, and losses related to a reduction in earning capacity
- Out-of-pocket travel costs and other related costs
Non-Economic Losses
Non-economic losses are very much real factors, but have a subjective value. Examples include:
Is Emotional Distress a Personal Injury?
Yes, it is. Emotional distress can cause trauma, severe anxiety, and an impact on your life and well-being. However, under the law, you can only pursue emotional distress compensation if you suffer a physical injury as well.
