In this video, attorney David Brown explains the cost structure when hiring a lawyer.

One of the advantages of working with the injury attorneys at Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner is that they are dedicated to working closely with clients to make decisions throughout the claim process.

Typically, the Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner attorneys represent clients who are injured by a negligent party. But sometimes, a client is partly at fault for the injury or accident.

Very often, we hear from people who have been injured but who are worried about going through the insurance-claim process. Sometimes they feel that they could handle the claim themselves. Sometimes they are concerned that the claim process will be expensive, will involve out-of-pocket payment, or will result in a huge bill at the end.

When the insurance claim process is begun, the Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner attorneys and staff collect important information regarding our clients’ injuries and accidents. This information includes medical records and bills, police collision reports and investigations, photos of the injuries and vehicle damage, photos of the crash scene, witness statements, and other documentation.

The Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner attorneys hear everyday from people who have been injured and who need concrete answers about whether they have a valid personal-injury claim.

This is a hard one to generalize, because every claim is different. We’ve had claims that were very straightforward and could be completed in a few months.

Talk with your Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner lawyer about the aspects of your claim and how long it may take.

Very often, a successful claim is one that secures the insurance policy’s limits for our client. Every insurance policy has a dollar amount that is the top limit available for a settlement. No matter how severe our client’s injuries, no matter how high their medical bills, the most the Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner attorneys can attain for their client’s settlement amount is the dollar amount of the policy.

At Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner , we believe that a successful personal-injury claim is one where our client receives a settlement that not only covers their current medical bills and costs, but also provides funds to help them with life going forward. Many injuries can have a permanent negative affect on our clients’ lives, and we believe that the settlement should provide compensation for those effects.

Subrogation refers to the process that your own insurance company uses to get reimbursed for the money they have already paid toward your injury claim. After a client is injured, their health insurance company makes payments towards the client’s medical treatment. Their health insurance company has the right to recover that money it has paid toward your treatment.

Legal fees are the amount billed to a client for legal services performed by your attorney and the legal support team.

The Brett McCandlis Brown & Conner attorneys work in a contingency-fee basis. This means that you pay us only if the case is successful. A contingency fee is usually used only in cases where money is being claimed, like with personal-injury claims.
