How much of a personal injury settlement will I be entitled to?

Spencer Edward Farris
Answered by attorney Spencer Edward Farris (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The S.E. Farris Law Firm
If an attorney will agree to do that, you can. None can be forced to do so, however. The work that needs to be done to maximize recovery in a personal injury case is the same for the last bit as for the first part- in other words, an attorney will have to the same amount of work regardless of the settlement offer you have on the table. That being the case, there are few times when an attorney will agree not to take a fee. For example, if your case is worth 10,000, and the insurance company offers you 4,000, the attorney will still have to get the case ready for trial to recover the last 6,000 for you. Since that work would normally earn the attorney a fee on the full 10K, only an attorney without much business is going to invest the time to earn less. If you tell a qualified attorney what the offer is on the table before you hire him however, many will tell you if it is worth your while to hire him or better to just proceed alone. A bigger concern is that if you wait to hire an attorney till you try to work things out yourself, you might harm your case. Witnesses and evidence will be harder to secure the longer you wait. You may give up your privacy privileges if you sign documents without realizing what you are doing. Few lay people, or even attorneys who only "dabble" in personal injury cases are prepared to do all the things that are required to be successful in a lawsuit. Studies show that claimants with attorneys get more money than those without- typically 4-5 times more. Since there is never truly enough money to compensate for an injury, it makes sense to hire an experienced lawyer to do the work. Remember that you only get one chance to get it right!

Is the jeweler liable for paying my ex fiance for my ring?

David F. Stoddard
Answered by attorney David F. Stoddard (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at The David F. Stoddard Law Firm
Probably not. When you gave it to her, it was her property to do with what she wants. You can sue her for breach of promise, but I do not think the jeweler would be liable.

Can my husband sue if he fell at a business and hurt himself but he was on company time?

Thomas C. Bulman
Answered by attorney Thomas C. Bulman (Unclaimed Profile)
Personal Injury lawyer at Bulman Law Associates PLLC
Your husband should file a workers compensation claim with his employer if he was working. He can also pursue a case against the business that didn't clear the ice. That is called a third party claim. Two claims is complicated and probably justifies have an attorney handle the claim if it is serious.
