Who pays for my lost wages and medical bills?
If you are in a care accident your private medical insurance may pay your medical bills before settlement. If you do not have medical insurance, the insurance covering the vehicle you were in at the time of the injury may cover the payment of your medical bills and wage loss.

What is a Statute of Limitation?
The law establishing the time limit in which a lawsuit can be filed is called a Statute of Limitation. It is critical to know which Statute of Limitation applies to your case. It is imperative that you contact an attorney as soon as possible after your injury so that the Statute of Limitations can be determined.

How much are my attorney's professional fees?
For most personal injury cases attorneys charge a percentage of the settlement award or amount. Usually attorney fees are 1/3 or 33 1/3% of the settlement or award amount unless a trial or arbitration date has been set. If your case settles for nothing, then the attorney fees are nothing.

When will my case settle?
Appel Law Firm LLP strives to resolve all claims within one to two years after the accident. Sometimes cases settle earlier, sometimes later. While it is important not to delay your case, it is equally important not to rush your case. This is why each case gets its own plan so as to maximize your recovery on a timely basis.
