Common Misconceptions about Accident Lawsuits

Accidents can be confusing on a variety of levels. First, there is the initial shock and possible trauma. The victim of an accident must then sift through potential misinformation about how to proceed with his or her case. Some common misconceptions about accident lawsuits include the following:

I cannot afford an accident lawyer

Actually, your initial consultation with the Gosanko Law Firm is free. We are paid only if you collect. We take cases on a contingency fee basis and cover all legal costs up front so that you do not pay attorney fees or costs until your case is resolved. You may risk losing a great deal more than you realize by not pursuing a valid claim for your accident.

You do not need an accident lawyer if you are the victim of an injury.

This is also a dangerous assumption. It is unlikely you are aware of all the rules and nuances of the law that surround your accident. An experienced personal injury lawyer will be better able to assess your situation. A lawyer can let you know if your injuries are the fault of the recklessness, carelessness, or even criminal behavior of another. They will also be able to tell you the possible compensation you may be able to collect for those injuries.

Your injuries are not serious enough to warrant seeking an accident lawyer

Your injury may seem minor at first. Perhaps you delayed seeking medical treatment or had more pressing concerns to deal with at the time. But ignoring even minor injuries is a mistake. A medical professional should be consulted to determine the possible consequences of these injuries, which you may not see until months or even years later. An accident attorney can tell you if it is worthwhile to pursue justice for these injuries, ones that may affect your life forever.

You or a loved one may be experiencing a great deal of frustration because of an accident. Do not add to it by failing to seek a lawyer. Our attorneys will devote all the time and attention it takes to make sure you are well represented.
