Pain and suffering are substantial damages that you can seek compensation for after a car crash. Unlike medical expenses and lost wages, this type of damage is a little more complex to calculate, as it is intangible and subjective. Car accident lawyers use different methods to accurately calculate pain and suffering damages. One possible method is the multiplier method, where we total all of your actual damages and multiply them by a number. Another method is the per diem method, where we can multiply a specific dollar amount, like a day's pay of work, by the number of days you have suffered an injury. In either case, we know how to convince insurance companies that our pain and suffering calculations accurately reflect your losses. This is important as insurers regularly underestimate the pain and suffering of car accident victims.
Car accident lawyers receive payment on a contingency fee basis. A contingency fee basis means you do not have to pay your lawyers' fees until you receive compensation from your lawsuit. Your car accident lawyer will represent you without paying any upfront or ongoing attorneys' fees. When you receive compensation, the legal fees come from your settlement or award, so you never need money from your bank account to pay for our services.
The timeline of your case depends on how you can resolve your claim. If an insurance company makes a fair settlement offer early in the process due to our legal representation, you can accept the offer and close the case relatively quickly. However, the insurance company can prolong a conclusion by refusing to offer a settlement that covers your losses. In such cases, we might need to pursue litigation, which can take longer. Remain patient and allow your lawyer to do what it takes to obtain full compensation. It is better to receive higher payments after a longer time than rush to conclude your case and end up with much less than you deserve.
