Question:
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney in Southwest Florida?
Answer:
The initial cost for hiring an attorney to handle a personal injury claim at our firm, Goldstein Buckley Cechman, Rice & Purtz, is absolutely $0 to you, the client, the injured party. We handle cases on what’s called a contingency fee basis, which means we will never send you a bill. You will not see anything from us asking you to write us a check. We handle the entirety of the case for you up until the time the case gets resolved, and then, based upon our contract that we would enter into very early on in our agreement, a percentage of what you are compensated would come to us for the work that we’ve done on the case. The cost at Goldstein Buckley Cechman, Rice & Purtz is absolutely nothing.
We also forward costs for you throughout the case. Not only do you not have to pay a dime to retain us but we will work with you and we will forward costs to handle things that need to occur in your case, the hiring of experts, the retaining of medical records and documentation, all those things that cost money. We will pay those for you upfront. They do have to be paid back to us based upon the settlement or the resolution of your case. At the onset and throughout your case until it is fully resolved, you do not owe us a penny and you will never owe us a penny unless we are successful for you.
{"@context": https://schema.org,"@type": "FAQPage","mainEntity": [{"@type": "Question","name": "If I Have a Pre-Existing Condition, Will That Impact My Case?","acceptedAnswer": {"@type": "Answer","text": "Personal injury claims and pre-existing conditions are things that are at the forefront of most cases that are handled in Florida. Those are things that do impact cases. Insurance companies like to look at pre-existing conditions and try to blame the effects of the accident on those pre-existing conditions. Luckily, when you have an experienced attorney like us at Goldstein Buckley Cechman, Rice & Purtz, we know how to flip that argument on its head because what the law tells us is that simply because you were suffering from some form of pre-existing condition, be it a prior spinal cord injury, be it prior neck pain or back pain, just because you may have those things in the past doesn’t mean that you cannot collect damages you deserve from suffering an aggravation or an exacerbation of those prior conditions, again, things in your past that have been reignited, brought to life, and intensified as the result of the accident in question.
While it is certainly something that is at the forefront of cases when those pre-existing conditions exist, having the right attorneys to know how to deal with those situations in the right context and how to make those situations most beneficial for you folks that suffer from those sort of things in your past is so paramount and important to making sure you are choosing the right attorneys. What we do when we get a case is, we certainly ask about the accident and your injuries as a result of the accident. What we do is take a deep dive into your medical past, not in an effort to undervalue your claim but in an effort to get that ammunition we need to try and prove what we know to be true, and that’s that the accident and the injuries more times than not have caused those underlying conditions to be reignited, brought to the forefront, and you are now suffering worse than you ever had before. While pre-existing conditions certain points in time can be detrimental to a case, if you have the right attorneys looking at it in the right light, we can work to make those work in your benefit as opposed to your detriment.
