  3. Pain and suffering is estimated based on multiple factors including the seriousness of injuries, lost wages, etc. The details of your case will help an attorney give you an idea of what to expect or what is reasonable.

  4. Thanks for providing such a nice post about personal injury. A personal injury lawsuit is a viable weapon for the victims of any injury or mental stress. If a person gets injured due to the carelessness of another person or party, he or she has the right to file a personal injury lawsuit against the party. Personal injury victims can seek monetary compensation from the party responsible for the injury. But preparing a strong personal injury lawsuit requires enormous experience and expertise. And only a qualified personal injury attorney can help you file a convincing personal injury lawsuit. Carefully prepared personal injury lawsuits set an example for others and prevent the repetition of such harmful acts. Personal injury lawsuits usually cover all aspects of the injuries.

  5. I had an accident last month, and I had consulted a lawyer on a contingency fee basis. But I think that he's not working on my case, and have not heard from him since. It's going to be a month to my accident tomorrow. How do I know if I should look for another lawyer?
