Metro Law Offices helps injured riders and passengers pursue fair compensation under Minnesota law. We focus on prompt investigation, careful documentation, and clear communication with insurers so you can focus on healing.

If you were hurt in or around Chanhassen, our team is ready to answer your questions, explain your options, and help you move forward with confidence.
Insurance companies move quickly after an off‑road crash. Evidence on trails can disappear, vehicles get repaired, and witness memories fade. Acting early can make a meaningful difference in how your claim is evaluated. Metro Law Offices represents people injured on recreational vehicles throughout Minnesota, with special attention to the unique terrain and riding culture around Chanhassen. We coordinate medical records, investigate liability, and communicate with adjusters so you don’t have to manage the stress alone. If you are unsure whether your situation supports a claim, a quick call can clarify timelines, coverage, and next steps. We invite you to reach out and learn how the process works before making any decisions.
Off‑road crashes often raise unique issues: private land versus public trails, maintenance responsibilities, aftermarket modifications, and seasonal hazards like ice or loose gravel. An early legal strategy helps preserve the vehicle, download data if available, locate witnesses, and secure photos before the scene changes. It also helps identify all potential insurance sources, including homeowner’s coverage, recreational policies, and UM/UIM benefits. With guidance, you can avoid common pitfalls such as giving broad recorded statements, missing medical appointments, or undervaluing future care. The goal is straightforward: protect your health, protect your claim, and position your case for a fair outcome without unnecessary delay or conflict.
Metro Law Offices is a Minnesota personal injury law firm representing riders, passengers, and pedestrians harmed in recreational and off‑road incidents. We prioritize clear communication, practical advice, and steady advocacy from the first call through resolution. Our approach is hands‑on: we gather records, coordinate with your medical providers, and speak with insurers so you can focus on recovery. We understand the dynamics of off‑road crashes and how they intersect with state law, property rules, and coverage questions. Whether your case involves a trail collision, equipment failure, or a crash on frozen water, we tailor a strategy for your circumstances and keep you informed at every step.
Recreational and off‑road injury representation addresses collisions and incidents involving ATVs, UTVs, dirt bikes, e‑bikes, snowmobiles, golf carts, and similar vehicles. These events can occur on public trails, private property, parks, or lakes. Claims often involve negligence, unsafe property conditions, or defective components. Your legal team works to identify who may be responsible, document injuries and losses, and pursue available insurance coverage. Because every case is fact‑specific, we evaluate liability, medical needs, lost wages, and long‑term effects to determine an appropriate path. Our goal is to guide you through the process while keeping paperwork, deadlines, and negotiations organized and on track.
Minnesota law allows injured people to seek compensation for medical bills, wage loss, and other harms caused by careless conduct. In off‑road cases, key questions include where the crash happened, who controlled the property, whether equipment was maintained, and what insurance applies. Some claims involve multiple carriers or overlapping policies, including homeowner’s, recreational vehicle, and auto‑related UM/UIM coverage. Early medical treatment and consistent follow‑up care help connect injuries to the event and support an accurate evaluation. Our firm coordinates with providers, tracks expenses, and builds a clear picture of your damages so negotiations are informed and evidence‑driven.
A recreational or off‑road injury claim arises when someone is harmed while using a non‑highway vehicle or engaging in outdoor recreation, and another party’s conduct, property condition, or equipment defect contributed to the harm. Common examples include ATV collisions on wooded trails, snowmobile crashes on lakes, dirt bike incidents at parks, golf cart mishaps, and failures of helmets or components. The claim seeks compensation from the at‑fault parties or their insurers for the losses caused. Each case turns on the facts: who had the right of way, whether warnings were posted, how the vehicle was maintained, and what coverage is available to address the injuries.
Most off‑road cases start with a consultation, evidence preservation, and a careful liability review. We gather photos, medical records, incident reports, GPS or app data where available, and statements from witnesses. Next, we identify all potential insurance policies, including homeowner’s, recreational vehicle coverage, and UM/UIM benefits. As treatment progresses, we evaluate damages such as medical expenses, wage loss, and the impact on daily life. When the medical picture stabilizes, we present a demand with supporting documentation. Many claims resolve through negotiation, while others require mediation or filing a lawsuit. At every stage, we explain options so you can make informed decisions.
Understanding common terms can help you follow the process with confidence. Off‑road cases may involve comparative fault, assumption of risk arguments, product liability theories, and insurance concepts like UM and UIM coverage. These terms affect how liability is assigned, what defenses insurers may raise, and which policies can contribute to a settlement. Knowing the language allows you to ask targeted questions, anticipate next steps, and recognize fair versus premature offers. Our team takes time to translate legal and insurance jargon into plain English so you always understand how each concept applies to your situation and what it means for your timeline and goals.
Comparative fault is a rule that reduces recovery by the rider’s share of responsibility and can bar recovery if the rider’s share exceeds the other party’s. Insurers often raise this to argue a rider was speeding, following too closely, or taking an unsafe line on a trail. Evidence like helmet cam footage, photos, and witness statements helps test these claims. Even if you think you share some responsibility, you should still consult counsel; careful analysis can shift percentages based on right‑of‑way rules, visibility, posted signs, or mechanical issues. The goal is to reach a fair allocation grounded in facts, not assumptions.
Assumption of risk is a defense suggesting the injured person knowingly accepted certain dangers. In off‑road cases, insurers sometimes argue that riding on uneven terrain or ice inherently involves hazards. The defense does not excuse careless behavior by others, hidden defects, or failures to maintain safe property. Clear warnings, trail conditions, and the specific activity matter. A well‑built record shows which risks were open and obvious and which stemmed from avoidable conduct. By distinguishing general recreational risks from negligence or defects, you can keep the focus on what could and should have been prevented, strengthening the path toward recovery.
Product liability holds manufacturers and sellers responsible when defective equipment causes injury. In off‑road claims, this might involve faulty throttles, brake failures, tire delamination, or helmet defects. These cases often require preserving the vehicle or part for inspection by qualified professionals and reviewing maintenance, recall notices, and design changes. Product claims can proceed alongside negligence claims against riders or property owners. Because evidence can be altered during repairs, prompt steps to secure and store the item are important. When successful, product liability can open additional insurance coverage and help ensure the full scope of harm is addressed.
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, often referred to as UM and UIM, can help when the at‑fault party lacks insurance or does not carry enough to cover your losses. In recreational settings, these benefits may be available through auto policies, recreational vehicle policies, or sometimes homeowner’s policies, depending on the language. Using UM/UIM typically requires meeting notice and cooperation requirements and proving the other party’s liability. Coordinating these benefits can be complex, especially when multiple carriers are involved. Early review of policy documents helps avoid missed deadlines and ensures the right carriers are placed on notice.
After an off‑road crash, you can attempt to negotiate directly with insurers, hire legal counsel to handle negotiations, or proceed to formal litigation if the claim does not resolve. Direct negotiation may feel faster but carries risks if evidence is incomplete or medical care is ongoing. Representation can level the playing field with adjusters and help coordinate records, witnesses, and valuations. Litigation is sometimes necessary when liability is disputed or offers ignore long‑term impacts. We discuss the pros and cons of each path, including cost, timeline, and stress, so you can choose the approach that aligns with your health and recovery needs.
If your injuries are minor, heal quickly, and liability is undisputed, a focused approach may be appropriate. In these situations, the priority is completing medical care, assembling bills and records, and confirming wage loss. Once the medical picture is stable, a concise demand package with photos and receipts can lead to a prompt resolution. Even with a limited approach, it is wise to confirm all available coverage, including potential UM/UIM benefits. We can help you weigh whether a streamlined process meets your goals or if additional steps are needed to protect against hidden complications or future medical needs.
When a crash damages your ATV, UTV, or gear but you were not physically injured, a limited strategy focused on property claims may be enough. This typically involves documenting repair estimates, diminished value, and replacement costs for helmets or accessories. Photographs, receipts, and maintenance records help establish pre‑loss condition. While these matters can often be resolved directly with insurers, questions sometimes arise about policy limits, deductibles, or fault. We can provide guidance on presenting a complete claim and avoiding common mistakes, while helping you decide whether formal representation is necessary given the scope of your losses.
Serious injuries, ongoing treatment, or disputed liability typically call for a more comprehensive plan. Complex cases benefit from early scene work, vehicle preservation, and detailed witness interviews. We coordinate medical providers, evaluate future care, and consult appropriate professionals when needed to clarify causation and long‑term impact. Comprehensive preparation helps counter arguments about comparative fault or pre‑existing conditions and ensures the full scope of losses is documented. This approach supports meaningful negotiations and positions your case for mediation or litigation if necessary, while keeping you informed about timelines and realistic outcomes at each stage of the process.
Off‑road crashes sometimes involve several parties, overlapping insurance, or potential product defects. A comprehensive plan identifies all responsible actors, from riders and property owners to manufacturers and distributors. We manage notices to carriers, preserve the vehicle and components, and review recalls or technical data. Multiple‑party claims require careful coordination to avoid inconsistent statements and to keep negotiations aligned. With a structured approach, we can evaluate settlement opportunities while preparing for the possibility of suit against one or more defendants. The objective is efficiency and thoroughness, ensuring no viable avenue of recovery is left unexplored.
A comprehensive approach develops a full evidentiary picture, which improves accuracy in valuing your claim. By gathering medical records, treatment plans, wage information, and future care projections, we can present a demand grounded in facts rather than estimates. Thorough preparation also reduces delays, because insurers receive the documents they need to evaluate liability and damages. This approach minimizes the risk of undervaluing long‑term effects, including ongoing therapy, reduced activity, or pain that impacts daily life. With an organized file and clear narrative, negotiations become more productive and the path to resolution is easier to navigate.
Comprehensive planning also provides flexibility. If negotiations stall, a well‑documented case can transition to mediation or litigation without starting over. The groundwork—photographs, statements, repair reports, medical opinions, and policy reviews—is already in place. This preparedness can encourage more reasonable offers because insurers understand the matter can move forward efficiently. For you, it means fewer surprises and better visibility into timelines and options. Our role is to build that foundation, communicate developments promptly, and keep your goals front and center, whether the case resolves early or requires a more formal process to reach a fair outcome.
Detailed evidence supports every part of your claim, from fault to future medical needs. By preserving the vehicle, photographing the scene, interviewing witnesses, and assembling medical records, we can tell a clear, consistent story. This clarity reduces guesswork and helps avoid low offers based on incomplete information. Accurate valuation also considers lost time from work, activity limitations, and likely future care. With a comprehensive record, your claim is measured by what actually happened and what you truly need moving forward, rather than by assumptions or rushed estimates that do not reflect the full impact of the crash.
When insurers see that liability analysis, medical documentation, and damages modeling are complete, negotiations often become more constructive. A well‑prepared file signals that the claim can proceed effectively to mediation or a lawsuit if needed. That readiness can help set realistic timelines and expectations, reducing delay tactics and unfounded disputes. For you, leverage means practical choices: accept a fair settlement with confidence or continue forward knowing the groundwork is solid. Our aim is to keep momentum, maintain pressure for a fair resolution, and ensure that every step aligns with your health, finances, and long‑term interests.
Even if you feel okay after a crash, get evaluated promptly. Adrenaline can mask pain, and soft‑tissue injuries may worsen over days. Early visits create a clear medical timeline linking injuries to the incident. Keep copies of discharge notes, prescriptions, and referrals. Save photos of visible injuries and bruising as they evolve. If you miss an appointment, reschedule and note the reason. Consistency in care helps insurers understand the seriousness of your condition and reduces arguments that symptoms are unrelated. Good documentation supports your recovery and forms the foundation for accurate claim valuation.
Insurance adjusters may request recorded statements early, before all the facts are known. You are not required to guess about speeds, distances, or timelines. Politely request time to gather information and consider having an attorney present. Keep your comments brief and factual, and avoid speculation. Do not sign broad medical authorizations that give access to unrelated records. Instead, provide targeted documents that support your injuries and treatment. Careful communication helps prevent misunderstandings and protects your privacy, while still allowing insurers to evaluate your claim based on accurate, relevant information.
Riders and passengers face unique risks on trails, lakes, and private property. After a crash, you may be dealing with medical appointments, missed work, and damaged gear. At the same time, insurers are assessing fault, policy language, and potential defenses. Legal help provides organization and direction during a stressful time. We clarify which policies apply, gather the proof needed to value your claim, and communicate with adjusters so you can focus on recovery. With guidance, you can avoid preventable delays and ensure the evidence that matters most is preserved.
Every case has different facts, from visibility on a wooded curve to the condition of a frozen lake. A tailored approach can address the details that shape liability and damages. We work to show how the crash affected your health, your work, and your daily activities, and we provide a clear plan for moving forward. Whether you prefer a swift, fair settlement or need to prepare for mediation or suit, we align the process with your goals. Our focus is steady progress, open communication, and practical problem‑solving for you and your family.
Off‑road injury claims often follow trail collisions with other riders, loss of control due to hidden hazards, or equipment failures that cause sudden impacts. Snowmobile incidents on lakes or groomed routes may involve unmarked obstacles or thin ice. Dirt bike and e‑bike crashes can occur when terrain changes unexpectedly or when maintenance is overlooked. Some cases arise from unsafe property conditions, including lack of warnings or poor lighting. Others involve defective parts such as brakes, tires, or helmets. No matter the cause, early investigation and consistent medical care help build a strong link between the event and your injuries.
Trail riding near Chanhassen can involve tight turns, mixed user groups, and variable surfaces. Collisions may happen when a rider crosses center, enters a blind corner too fast, or fails to yield. Photos, GPS data, and witness contact information help clarify what occurred. If signage was missing or visibility was limited by vegetation, those details matter. We evaluate right‑of‑way, trail design, and rider conduct to determine fault and insurance coverage. Preserving your vehicle and gear, and seeking prompt medical care, are key steps in documenting both liability and the full scope of your injuries.
Snowmobile crashes can involve ice heaves, unmarked obstacles, or unexpected turns on groomed routes. Night riding and changing temperatures create evolving conditions that affect traction and visibility. Determining responsibility may require examining route maintenance, posted warnings, and speed. Insurers may argue assumption of risk, but that does not excuse negligent operation or unsafe conditions that could have been addressed. We gather photographs, trail maps, and weather information to build a complete picture. Medical documentation of head, neck, or orthopedic injuries is especially important due to the forces involved in snowmobile impacts.
Some injuries are worsened by equipment that fails under normal use. Helmet shell fractures, tire delamination, or throttle sticking can turn a manageable situation into a severe crash. Product claims require preserving the item for inspection and gathering purchase, maintenance, and recall records. These cases may proceed alongside negligence claims, and they can open additional avenues of recovery through manufacturers or distributors. Early evaluation helps determine whether a defect or warning issue contributed to the harm. By coordinating engineering review and insurance notices, we ensure evidence is secured while your medical care continues uninterrupted.
We know the challenges off‑road injuries create for riders and families. From the first call, we clarify timelines, coverage, and the documents insurers will need to evaluate your claim. We manage the day‑to‑day tasks—records collection, claim forms, and adjuster communication—so you can focus on healing and routine. Our approach is straightforward: keep the process organized, communicate consistently, and move your claim forward. When options arise, we explain the pros and cons so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
Evidence drives results. We help preserve vehicles and components, gather scene photos, and speak with witnesses while memories are fresh. As your medical picture evolves, we work with providers to ensure your records reflect the full scope of injuries and necessary treatment. By the time we present a demand, we aim to provide a complete, well‑supported file that encourages meaningful negotiation. If talks stall, we are prepared to explore mediation or filing suit after discussing the timeline and expectations with you.
Your goals guide the strategy. Some clients want to resolve claims efficiently and get back to work; others need time for treatment and future care planning. We adjust the pace to fit your circumstances while keeping you updated. You will always know where your case stands and what comes next. Our purpose is to reduce stress, protect your interests, and seek a fair outcome that reflects your injuries, your recovery, and the way this crash has affected your daily life.
We use a clear, step‑by‑step process designed to protect evidence, understand your medical needs, and present a strong claim. First, we listen and evaluate coverage. Next, we investigate liability and coordinate treatment documentation. When your condition stabilizes, we calculate damages and submit a detailed demand to the insurer. Many matters resolve through negotiation; others benefit from mediation or filing suit. Throughout, we explain your choices and the likely timelines, allowing you to make informed decisions that balance medical recovery, financial needs, and the desire for a timely, fair resolution.
Your first meeting focuses on what happened, your injuries, and your goals. We discuss where the incident occurred, the vehicles involved, any photos or videos, and available insurance. We outline next steps for medical documentation, evidence preservation, and communication with adjusters. If we move forward together, we send notices to carriers, start gathering records, and create a plan that fits your treatment timeline. You will leave this step with a clear understanding of how claims progress in Minnesota and what information will make the most difference in your case.
We begin by listening closely to your account of the crash, your symptoms, and how the injuries are affecting work and daily life. We identify your priorities—such as fast resolution, comprehensive medical care, or both—and set expectations for communication. We also discuss privacy concerns, including how to share records without allowing overly broad access. By clarifying your goals early, we can tailor the approach to match your needs, ensure critical tasks are prioritized, and avoid steps that add stress or delay without improving the outcome.
We review available photos, helmet cam footage, maintenance records, and contact information for witnesses. If a product failure is suspected, we discuss preserving the vehicle and parts. We also examine policy documents to identify liability, homeowner’s, recreational, and UM/UIM coverage that may apply. Early identification of carriers allows us to send timely notices and request relevant documents. This foundation helps ensure critical evidence is not lost and that we can move quickly once your medical picture becomes clearer and damages can be evaluated with accuracy.
During investigation, we organize the facts, interview witnesses, and obtain medical records that describe diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. If appropriate, we seek photographs of the scene, route maps, or weather data. We track out‑of‑pocket costs and wage loss documentation to ensure nothing is missed. As the file develops, we address insurer questions and continue to verify coverage. Building a complete record not only improves negotiations but also prepares the case for mediation or suit if necessary, reducing the need to backtrack later in the process.
Liability can turn on details such as sight lines, posted signs, trail design, or ice conditions. We gather the information needed to tell a clear story about how the crash occurred and why another party bears responsibility. If multiple parties may share fault, we evaluate how responsibility might be allocated. Throughout, we keep you informed about what we find and how it affects strategy. This analysis helps anticipate defenses and supports straightforward negotiations based on the evidence, not speculation or incomplete reports.
We work with your providers to obtain records that connect your injuries to the crash and outline necessary care. We organize bills, mileage, wage loss, and projected future needs into a damages model. This model helps test settlement ranges and gives you a realistic sense of outcomes. It also allows insurers to understand the claim without repeated requests. By presenting a full picture—medical, financial, and personal impact—we support a fair evaluation and reduce the chance that important losses are overlooked or undervalued.
Once treatment stabilizes, we submit a demand supported by evidence and invite the insurer to negotiate. Many claims resolve at this stage. If offers do not reflect the documented harm, we can pursue mediation or discuss filing suit. We explain the pros and cons of each option, including cost, timeline, and potential stress. Our priority is to align the strategy with your health and recovery, aiming for a fair result while avoiding unnecessary delays. You are involved at every decision point and approve all major steps.
We focus negotiations on documented facts: liability analysis, medical records, and the damages model. If talks stall, mediation can provide a structured setting to reach agreement with the help of a neutral third party. We prepare a concise mediation brief, highlight key evidence, and work toward resolution that reflects your injuries and future needs. Mediation is confidential and can save time compared to trial. Whether you settle or continue forward, you will understand the reasons behind each recommendation and the likely next steps.
If suit is filed, the case moves into formal discovery, including written questions, document exchange, and depositions. Courts often require scheduling conferences and mediation before trial. We keep your involvement as efficient as possible and prepare you for each milestone, explaining what to expect and how to get ready. Litigation can add time, but a strong evidentiary foundation preserves momentum. Throughout, we continue to evaluate settlement opportunities and adjust strategy based on new information, always centering your goals and well‑being.
Start by getting medical care, even if symptoms seem mild. Report the incident to the appropriate authority or property owner and take photos of the scene, the vehicles, and any visible injuries. Collect names and contact information for witnesses. If possible, preserve the vehicle and gear in their post‑crash condition. Avoid posting details on social media. Save receipts for medical expenses and equipment replacements so costs are captured from the beginning. Before speaking at length with insurers, consider a consultation. You do not have to estimate speeds or speculate about fault. Share only what you know for certain and avoid broad medical authorizations. An attorney can help coordinate statements, confirm coverage, and set a plan to gather records and protect your claim while you focus on treatment and recovery.
Deadlines for injury claims vary based on the facts, including where the crash occurred, who may be responsible, and what type of claim is pursued. Some cases involve shorter notice requirements, especially when public entities are involved. Because timelines can be complex, it is best to get legal guidance as soon as you can so important dates are not missed while you focus on medical care. Even if you think time has passed, consult an attorney promptly. Key tasks—like preserving the vehicle, notifying insurers, and gathering records—are still important. A quick review can confirm the applicable deadlines for your situation and help you decide the best next steps, whether that means moving forward immediately or completing medical treatment before presenting a formal demand.
Yes, Minnesota allows recovery even if you share part of the responsibility, as long as your share does not exceed the other party’s. Your recovery may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Insurers sometimes overstate rider fault without full context. Evidence such as photos, witness accounts, and trail conditions can shift the analysis in your favor when properly documented and presented. Do not assume partial responsibility ends your claim. Comparative fault is fact‑dependent and can change as more information emerges. A careful review of visibility, right‑of‑way, posted warnings, and vehicle condition can rebalance the percentages. Legal guidance helps ensure that responsibility is assigned based on the evidence, not on speculation or incomplete statements made early in the process.
Potentially responsible parties can include other riders, owners of the recreational vehicle, property owners or managers, maintenance contractors, and manufacturers or sellers of defective equipment. Responsibility depends on where the crash occurred, whether warnings were posted, how the vehicles were maintained, and what conduct led to the harm. Multiple parties may share responsibility in a single incident. Identifying all responsible parties matters because each may have separate insurance coverage. Early investigation helps preserve the vehicle, document the scene, and confirm policy information. Coordinated claims prevent inconsistent statements and improve the chances of a fair outcome. Your attorney can help organize these efforts so that all viable avenues of recovery remain available while you focus on getting better.
Claim value is based on documented losses, including medical expenses, wage loss, and the impact on daily life. The severity of injury, length of treatment, and need for future care play important roles. Evidence such as imaging, therapy notes, and physician recommendations supports these elements. Property damage to your vehicle and gear can also factor into the overall recovery. Non‑economic harms, like ongoing pain or reduced activities, are considered through medical records and your own description of day‑to‑day limitations. A strong demand package includes bills, records, photographs, and a clear narrative connecting the crash to your injuries. With a complete file, negotiations focus on the real effects of the incident rather than assumptions or incomplete information.
Using health insurance can help ensure consistent care and reduce upfront costs, especially while liability is still being investigated. Depending on policy language, your health insurer may seek reimbursement from a settlement for amounts it paid. Coordinating benefits properly helps avoid gaps in treatment and surprises later. We explain how health insurance, medical payments coverage, and other benefits interact with your claim. The goal is to maintain uninterrupted care while preserving your rights. By tracking bills and payments, we can confirm accurate balances when it is time to resolve the claim and make sure reimbursement issues are addressed as part of any settlement discussions.
Be cautious. Adjusters often request recorded statements early, before all facts are known. You can provide basic information, but avoid guessing about speeds, distances, or causes. Consider speaking with an attorney first, especially if injuries are significant or liability is disputed. A brief delay to gather information is reasonable and helps ensure accuracy. If a statement is necessary, prepare by reviewing photos, notes, and the incident report. Keep your answers concise and factual. Do not agree to broad medical authorizations that allow access to unrelated records. Targeted document sharing protects your privacy and provides what insurers need to evaluate the claim without opening the door to unnecessary fishing expeditions.
If the at‑fault rider lacks insurance or carries low limits, uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage may help. These benefits can be available through auto policies, recreational vehicle policies, or sometimes homeowner’s policies, depending on the wording. Prompt notice to your carriers is important to preserve rights under these coverages. We review your policies, identify potential UM/UIM benefits, and coordinate the necessary notices and documentation. These claims still require proving fault and damages, but they allow you to pursue recovery even when the at‑fault party cannot pay. Early coordination helps ensure no deadlines are missed and that the right carriers are involved from the start.
Many off‑road claims resolve through negotiation once the medical picture stabilizes and evidence is complete. Whether a case goes to court depends on liability disputes, valuation differences, and the willingness of insurers to engage in fair discussions. Mediation can offer a productive path before trial. If litigation is necessary, we will explain the process, anticipated timeline, and your role. Filing suit does not guarantee trial; many cases still settle after discovery or mediation. Our goal is to pursue the path that aligns with your needs—seeking a fair resolution while minimizing stress and keeping you informed every step of the way.
We offer contingency‑fee representation for injury cases, which means you pay no upfront attorney’s fees, and our fee is a percentage of the recovery. If there is no recovery, you typically owe no attorney’s fee. We discuss the percentage, case costs, and how expenses are handled at the beginning so everything is transparent. During your consultation, we explain what costs may arise, such as records, experts if needed, and filing fees if a suit is pursued. You will receive a written agreement outlining the terms before we begin. Our aim is straightforward: provide clear information about fees so you can decide with confidence whether to move forward.
