Common Questions and Answer
Q. How much compensation am I entitled to if I suffer a personal injury?
A. This will depend upon the severity of your injury and the effect the injuries will have on your future ability to work. For example, the loss of a finger may not limit a welder's future working ability, but may mean that a concert pianist can no longer play the piano at a high level. Your lawyer will be best served to answer this question upon receipt of all the medical and supporting information of your injury.
Q. How long will it take to settle my claim?
A. This of course, is a difficult question to answer accurately. However, as a general rule it takes between 12 and 18 months to resolve you claim. However, there are various factors which may affect the timing. This is always a good rule to remember: To obtain top dollar for your claim it takes time to properly accumulate the appropriate documentation and effectively present it to the insurance company, arbitrator or jury
Q. I don't think I can afford to pay a lawyer, so should I just settle
with the insurance company on my own.
A. Absolutely not. Remember this one simple fact: The insurance company has one job to do - pay you as little money as absolutely possible for your claim. Because most people do not make their living learning all of the tricks used by insurance companies, most people are at a real disadvantage trying to negotiate their own settlement. Insurance companies certainly are not "generous" or "fair." Obtaining top dollar for your personal injury claim is a battle best fought by a lawyer who specializes in personal injury. Also, at the Airola Law Offices there is always a " Free Consultation" and No "Fee Until We Win."
