Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost?
A personal injury lawyer typically charges 30% to 40% of whatever you win in a settlement. This type of compensation is called a contingency fee and provides much more peace of mind than out-of-pocket hourly or flat rates. Some firms use a sliding scale that reduces the percentage charged as the award goes up.
Personal injury lawyer fees go towards:
Court and filing costs
Travel expenses
Copying and mailing documents
Consulting and research
What is a personal injury lawyer?
A personal injury lawyer represents clients who have been injured by a person, business, or government. This includes physical injuries as well as reputation, psychological harm, or economic damage. This type of lawyer must have a bachelor's degree and law degree. Most states also require passing the bar exam before the lawyer can practice law or take on clients.
Do I need a personal injury lawyer?
You may need a personal injury lawyer if you have suffered injuries through no fault of your own, whether they're physical or otherwise. Common case types include:
Car or truck accidents
Slip and fall accidents
Medical malpractice
Negligent security
Defamation
Unlawful imprisonment
Wrongful death
Can I fire my personal injury lawyer?
You can fire your lawyer at any time if you feel they are not representing you properly. Though getting a new lawyer may seem daunting or uncomfortable, it may be worth it if your current lawyer does not:
Return your calls or messages
Seem familiar with or concerned about your case when you do talk
Communicate or update you regarding your case
Is it worth getting a personal injury lawyer?
Getting a personal injury lawyer is worth it if you have been wrongfully injured. Compensation varies from case to case, but many clients receive substantial rewards that help make up for hospital visits, loss of work, or psychological care. Make sure to gather evidence before speaking to a personal injury lawyer so they can give you an accurate estimate.

Having had lost all faith in the judicial system and your typical lawyers, I handle most of my court cases related to myself and or business in Pro Per. When a legal matter presented itself that was far outside of my legal expertise I was fortunate to be introduced to Victoria Targosz. Words cannot express how impressed I am by Victoria‘s knowledge of law and its application. Throughout my time with Victoria she did a stellar job of communicating what to expect and how she was going to address it. At all times I knew she was fighting and devoted to my cause . ( Unlike some other attorneys ). It takes a lot to impress me and Victoria has continued to throughout our relationship
