How Much is the Attorney’s Fee?

Call (972) 599 4100 for a free initial phone consultation with a personal injury lawyer. If we cannot recover anything, there is no attorney’s fee.

What We Charge:

In personal injury cases, we work on a contingency basis. A contingency fee arrangement is one in which the attorney receives a percentage of whatever he or she recovers on your behalf. This means that you will not be charged anything until recovery occurs. At that point, the attorney is compensated with a percentage of the recovery. If the lawyer is unable to obtain a recovery in the case, he is not compensated. Call the Law Office of Doug Goyen at (972) 599 4100 for the exact percentage.

What We Do For You:

 

1. We deal with the insurance company:
Once we accept your case, we handle all correspondence with the insurance company. You are no longer required to leave message after message with your adjuster without receiving a callback. We will deal with them. We communicate with the insurance company on your behalf.

2. We watch your claim to ensure fair treatment:
Insurers stay current on legislative changes. They maintain a staff of attorneys who stay current on any changes and potential advantages they can use against you. You require the assistance of an attorney to assist you in leveling the playing field.

3. We review all insurance policies:
We ensure that you receive the FULL amount of your claim. We ensure that you do not overlook any type of coverage that could aid in your complete recovery. If you have a particular type of insurance that will benefit your case, your insurance company will not inform you. You require the assistance of an experienced attorney who can advise you on the appropriate coverages to ensure that you receive your full benefits.

4. Evaluation of your case:
Without an experienced evaluator, you will only be able to guess how much your case is worth. You may make an incorrect guess and lose money. You may make an incorrect guess, leading the insurer to believe you are unreasonable and causing them to discontinue dealing with you. You need someone with experience to assist you in evaluating your case and making a reasonable demand that will result in results.

5. You need someone to fight on your side:
Many people believe that once they file a claim, the insurance company will automatically pay it. They are frequently rudely awakened by a vexing letter or a vexing phone call from an unfriendly adjuster. Typically, this adjuster appeared to be quite friendly at first, but then abruptly switched gears on you for no apparent reason. No, you did not initiate this adjuster’s behavior toward you. You simply witnessed what tens of thousands of other claimants discover. The adjuster will lull you into a false sense of security in order to “maintain control,” and then lower the boom on you once they have gathered the information they need. You need a Dallas personal injury attorney who understands how this game is played to fight for you so that you are not caught off guard.

6. We refer you to a reputable body shop if needed:
We can assist you in locating reputable body shops capable of repairing your vehicle.

7. We can help gather total loss info for your vehicle:
Often, if your vehicle is totaled, the insurance company will nickel and dime you on the value of your vehicle. Your Dallas personal injury attorney can assist you in gathering the information necessary to obtain a fair settlement from the insurance company.

8. We can help you to locate reputable medical treatment facilities that will treat you for your injury:
Frequently, individuals are unable to locate a doctor covered by their insurance plan who will see them for an injury claim. Typically, this occurs as a result of an event beyond the injured person’s control. If you require medical attention, we can refer you to a physician who can examine and treat you for your injury.

9. We gather the information the insurer needs:
Numerous individuals who attempt to handle their own claims have the same complaint… the insurer continually requests additional information and delays making an offer. This is not unusual. Occasionally, this is because the injured party is failing to gather the information that the insurance company requires. Occasionally, it is simply the insurance adjuster jerking the injured person’s chain, knowing that the injured person is inexperienced and will have no way of knowing whether the adjuster is telling the truth or not. You need someone who understands what the insurer requires and understands when they are being truthful when they request “additional information.”

10. Our experience helps with almost all matters in dealing with the injury claim:
We can handle almost any situation that arises when dealing with an insurance company or another party who owes money for an injury claim due to our years of experience.
