FAQs
Why Should I Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
When you’re hurt, the last thing you want to do is haggle with an insurance company over how much they owe you. All too often, though, the insurance company denies, delays, or undervalues a valid claim. When this happens, the injured person may be tempted to accept their first offer, assuming it’s the best they can do.
This is a mistake. On average, people who hire an attorney after a car crash recover three times as much as those who don’t. And at Morgan & Morgan, our jury awards are 20 times the pre-trial settlement offers. Don’t settle for less than you deserve. Speak with a licensed attorney who may be able to help you recover what you need to bounce back.
How Much Does It Cost?
Many people are surprised to learn that it costs nothing upfront to hire us. Morgan & Morgan works on the contingency fee basis, which means that our attorney fees come out of the settlement or jury award that we recover for you. In other words, we get paid only if we successfully resolve your case.

What Types of Compensation Can I Recover?
Personal injury lawsuits are meant to recover all past and future costs (or “damages”) related to an injury that wasn’t the plaintiff’s fault. These may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Loss of earning capacity
- Loss of life’s enjoyment
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress
- Funeral expenses (in the event of a loved one’s death)
Often an insurance company’s offer does not take into account all of these damages, which is why it’s so important for the injured person to speak with an attorney.
