FAQ
“What does a personal injury lawyer do??”
Why do I need a lawyer?
Dealing with insurance companies can become overwhelming, and after all, these companies are looking out for their own bottom line. They encourage those with claims to settle for a fraction of what your case may actually be worth. If you’ve been in an accident, you’ve already been hurt. Don’t let the insurance companies hurt you again. The attorneys at The Yost Legal Group are here to help.
How much does a lawyer cost?
The Yost Legal Group takes cases on a contingency fee basis, which means we don’t get paid until you collect compensation for your injuries. Your case evaluation is free and, we only get paid when we collect money for our clients. We only get paid if you get paid. Therefore, we have an incentive to devote ourselves to your case and fight for your rights to receive the kind of compensation you deserve as quickly as possible.
After the complimentary consultation, you are still free to hire someone else. At least you will have the benefit of evaluating all of the relevant information and having your questions answered in a no-pressure environment before you make that important decision.
How much is my case worth?
The value of your case can only be determined after The Yost Legal Group thoroughly evaluates the facts and recovers all evidence. Only then can we make a reasonable estimate as to the monetary value of your case. Value can only be determined after you have completed medical treatment, all medical records have been recovered and reviewed, medical bills obtained, and the treating physician has been consulted to determine if the injuries are permanent.
What kind of damages are there?
Depending on your case, you may have grounds to sue for the following damages:
• Economic losses include expenses for medical care and lost wages due to your injury.
• Future economic losses cover the cost of future medical care and future loss of income due to your injury.
• Past and future pain and suffering
What can you do to help me?
Too many people who have suffered a personal injury are intimidated, guilt-ridden, or reluctant to seek the help they need. Some have had bad experiences with other lawyers. Some have already been intimidated by the big company they’ve been dealing with. Some simply believe that it is wrong to bring a claim for personal injuries.
Once these people talk with a qualified personal injury lawyer at The Yost Legal Group about their claims, their rights, and the legal process, they feel much more at ease with their situation. They understand that it’s okay to be compensated for personal injuries, and they feel reassured that they are doing the right thing.
