At Parker Scheer Lagomarsino, we believe
that we should get paid only when you receive compensation
for you injuries. For this reason, we handle all personal
injury cases on a “contingent fee” basis. This
means that until you are compensated for your injuries, you
pay us nothing. Normally, the legal fee charged in personal
injury cases is about one third (1/3) of the amount we recover
on your behalf.
In the outside chance that we do not
recover an award for you, you owe us absolutely nothing. We
have an adamant “no exceptions” policy when it
comes to this rule.
Unlike many personal injury lawyers
who may settle for lowball offers, Parker Scheer Lagomarsino
lawyers prepare every case as if it were going to trial. We
use this technique to let insurance companies know that we
take your case very seriously, and will follow through to
the full extent of the law. In the rare event that a defendant’s
insurance company refuses to offer a fair settlement for your
injuries, we will not hesitate to proceed to trial in order
to recover money on your behalf. However, this being said,
most cases (more than 90%) are resolved through a settlement
prior to trial. Should your case go to trial, Parker Scheer
Lagomarsino lawyers have years of experience trying cases,
with highly successful results.
Yes, there are other ways of resolving
a case other than by going to court. As stated above, almost
ninety percent of the cases handled by Parker Scheer Lagomarsino
are resolved before trial. The most common of these resolutions
involves a settlement offer by the defendant’s insurance
company. If their offer coincides with what we think is fair
value for your case, we will present this offer to you as
a possible resolution.
Recently, there has been an increase
in the use of private means for resolution, known as “Alternative
Dispute Resolution” (ADR). ADR may be utilized as a
way to recover on your behalf through “mediation”,
a non-binding situation in which an unbiased third party hears
each side of the story and attempts to create a settlement
acceptable to both parties. If mediation fails, the case may
advance to trial without penalty to either party. If we are
able to reach an agreement, payment is typically received
by our client within thirty (30) days.
Another ADR option may be to have a
private neutral party decide the result of a case. This option
is known as “arbitration” and occurs outside a
court room, although it is in many ways similar to trial before
a judge. Prior to arbitration the two parties make a legally
binding contract that the decision of the arbitrator will
be enforceable. ADR has gained popularity for several reasons.
ADR is less costly than trial before a judge or jury and proceedings
are generally less formal than those in a courthouse. Parker
Scheer Lagomarsino lawyers are experienced in negotiating
cases through mediation and arbitration, with successful results
more than eighty-five percent of the time.
Every case is unique. Thus, it is impossible
to correctly estimate the exact duration of a certain case.
Cases involving car accidents, animal attacks and dog bites,
and defective or negligently maintained premises are generally
resolved faster than more complicated negligence cases. For
example, medical and dental malpractice cases, aviation-related
cases, and defective product cases may take longer to resolve.
While recovery in simple cases can sometimes occur in just
a few months, it may take several years to recover fair value
in more complex cases. Parker Scheer Lagomarsino lawyers work
as efficiently as possible in order recover just compensation
for your injuries. However, our lawyers pledge never to settle
for a low offer merely for the sake of resolving a case when
they feel you legally deserve more. Grounded in the experience
of thousands of cases, Parker Scheer Lagomarsino lawyers have
observed that cases hastily completed generally produce lower
recoveries than those afforded due diligence.
