10. WHY SHOULD I HIRE A LAWYER AND INCUR THE
CHARGES THAT A LAWYER'S OFFICE WILL IMPOSE?
When you hire an attorney, you are assured that the insurance
companies involved will be forced to negotiate the size of the settlement. Without an attorney, you could end up accepting
an offer that is significantly inferior to what you could potentially be awarded. In addition, the peace of mind gained
by knowing that your matter is being handled by competent professionals makes the healing process much easier to handle.
11. WILL IT COST ME ANY MONEY UP FRONT
FOR FILING FEES, COURT COSTS, EXPERT WITNESS FEES OR ANY OTHER COSTS?
Filing a lawsuit, paying court costs and expert
witness fees can be very expensive. We know that most people cannot afford these costs immediately, therefore we forward
these costs up front in every case we take. You will not have to pay any costs until your case is concluded and you
have been awarded a settlement. At the Law Offices of J. Michael Koch and Associates, we do not get paid until you
do.
12. WHAT IS MY CLAIM WORTH?
This is, of course, the question you need the answer
to the most. The law entitles you to recover for your pain, disability, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses
and wage loss or earning capacity impairment, along with other damages. The answer to this question can only be given
once the full nature and extent of your damages is known. While we cannot give an opinion on the worth of your claim
without significant research, we offer a free consultation in which we can assess your claim.
