Attorney James Johnson works for his clients on a contingency-fee-basis, which means he is only paid if we win the case. You do not pay anything unless you win. When the case is settled, the attorney will take his fee as an agreed percentage of the final settlement. These fees are described in full detail in the contract signed between the attorney and client before work begins on the case. The attorney will pay the costs for a case such as copying and court filing fees as well as hiring experts. This way his clients don’t have to pay the costs upfront. The value of a case depends on the specific facts and parties involved. How a claim is handled can affect the outcome significantly. For example, if a person is injured, but doesn’t seek medical treatment, this can significantly diminish the value of a claim.

Negligence is an act or failure to act, when there is a duty of care to another individual. California follows the legal doctrine of “comparative negligence.” Even if the plaintiff is partially at fault, he or she may still sue the defendant for the percentage of damage the defendant is responsible for. It is important to consult an attorney pertaining to this.

The time limit, or statute of limitations, is different depending on who is responsible for the injury. It is very important to consult an attorney as soon as you realize you might have a claim so the statute of limitation isn’t an issue. Failure to preserve the statute of limitations could bar you from proceeding with your case.

Med Pay Protection can pay a portion of your own medical bills regardless of who caused the injury. Normally, an agent will speak to an insured about adding this protection to one’s own insurance policy. It only applies if one has it included and pays up to the limit that is bought.
