Frequently Asked Questions

Personal Injury: Your Rights & Recovery

Q: How much is my personal injury case worth? A: There is no “set” value for a claim. Compensation is calculated based on economic damages (medical bills, lost wages, and property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering or emotional distress). During your free consultation, we will evaluate the severity of your injuries and the impact on your life to provide a realistic estimate.

Q: Can I still recover compensation if I was partially at fault? A: Yes. Under [State’s Name]’s comparative negligence laws, you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the accident. However, your final settlement will be reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20% at fault, you would receive 80% of the total award.

Q: How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit? A: In [State’s Name], the Statute of Limitations for most personal injury cases is [X] years from the date of the accident. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to sue forever. It is critical to contact an attorney immediately to preserve evidence and meet filing requirements.

Q: How much does a personal injury lawyer cost? A: We work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay $0 upfront. We only get paid if we win your case or secure a settlement. Our fee is a pre-agreed percentage of the final recovery, so our interests are perfectly aligned with yours.

Business Law: Formation & Transactions

Q: Which business structure is right for my new company? A: The “best” structure depends on your goals for liability protection and taxation. Most small businesses choose a Limited Liability Company (LLC) for its flexibility, while those planning to raise venture capital may require a C-Corporation. We help you weigh the pros and cons of LLCs, S-Corps, and Partnerships to find the perfect fit.

Q: Do I really need a lawyer to review a business contract? A: Yes. “Standard” contracts are rarely standard; they are usually written to favor the party who drafted them. A legal review identifies hidden liabilities, “evergreen” clauses, and unfavorable termination terms that could cost your business thousands of dollars down the road.

Q: What is the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA), and does it apply to me? A: As of 2026, most small businesses and LLCs are required to report Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) to FinCEN. Failure to comply can result in significant daily fines. We assist our business clients in navigating these federal filing requirements to ensure ongoing compliance.

Q: Can you help with the sale or purchase of an existing business? A: Absolutely. We handle the entire transactional lifecycle, including due diligence, drafting the Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) or Stock Purchase Agreement (SPA), and managing the closing process to ensure a smooth transition of ownership.
