    Understanding the Decision to Retain Legal Counsel

    When Is Counsel Typically Helpful?

    If you suffered serious bodily injury, disputed fault, commercial carrier involvement, or insurance denials, representation often protects against early low-ball settlements and uncalculated long-term medical liens.

    Contingency Fee Transparency

    Personal injury attorneys generally work on contingency (33.3% to 40% of gross recovery). Clarify whether case expenses (expert witnesses, court reporters, medical records) are deducted before or after fee calculation.

    Statute of Limitations Caution

    Every jurisdiction imposes strict statutory deadlines (e.g., in California, Code of Civil Procedure § 335.1 typically requires personal injury actions to be filed within 2 years, or 6 months if a public entity is involved).
