Frequently Asked Questions
Most personal injury law firms work on a contingency basis, meaning that their fees are collected from the settlement or jury award. Balkin Law will represent you with no out-of-pocket costs.
Insurance companies will most certainly offer you a settlement immediately after an accident, but it is almost never full and fair compensation. A personal injury lawyer can protect you from settling for too little.
The statute of limitations varies by state (e.g., three years in Washington, D.C.). However, you should not wait. Evidence is frequently lost over time and delays could adversely affect your claim.
These are only a small sample of our successful cases. Do you have legal questions?
