How strong is my case?
The strength of your specific case will rely on a number of factors, including what types of injuries you sustained, the severity and extent of those injuries, who is liable for the accident, when the accident occurred, and the assets and/or insurance coverage of the defendant. Other factors will likely be involved when determining whether or not you have a strong case. Speaking with a skilled personal injury lawyer can help you understand your legal options.
-
If I have fully recovered from my injuries, do I still have a personal injury case?
The short answer: yes. Even if you have completely recovered from all of your injuries, you may still be entitled to financial compensation to help with the cost of medical bills, lost wages, and more. If your injuries were the result of someone else’s negligence, you may still have a valid personal injury case.

How do I pay my attorney?
Like most personal injury attorneys, Avalon Law Offices, P.C. works on a contingency fee basis. What this means is that we are paid via a portion of your total recovery, whether obtained through settlement or trial. We typically advance all court fees and related costs so that there is no out-of-pocket expense. Essentially, we are not paid unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. This makes the process easier for you and ensures that our attorneys do everything they can to achieve a successful outcome for your case.

How long can I expect my lawsuit to last?
It is impossible to say upfront how long your specific case will last, as the answer depends on numerous factors. Most cases in Massachusetts reach a settlement before ever going to trial, avoiding lengthy litigation that can stretch a case out for years.

What is my role in my personal injury case?
