Frequency Asked Questions

If you’ve been injured due to someone else’s negligence, you may have a valid personal injury claim. We offer free consultations where our experienced attorneys will assess your case, explain your legal options, and help determine if you’re entitled to compensation for your injuries.

At The Reyes Firm, we work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay any legal fees unless we win your case. This ensures that all individuals, regardless of their financial situation, have access to high-quality legal representation.

The time you have to file a personal injury claim varies depending on the state and the type of case. Generally, it’s important to act quickly, as most personal injury claims have a statute of limitations. Contact us as soon as possible to ensure your claim is filed within the required time frame.

If you’re involved in a car accident, make sure to get medical treatment for any injuries, no matter how minor they may seem. Collect contact and insurance information from the other driver, and gather evidence from the scene, such as photos and witness statements.

Then, contact The Reyes Firm for a free consultation to discuss your legal options.

It’s essential to act quickly when pursuing a personal injury claim because many cases have a statute of limitations, or a deadline for filing. However, even if some time has passed since the injury, you may still be able to file a claim depending on your situation.

Contact The Reyes Firm to discuss your case and find out if you’re still within the time limit to take legal action.

The amount of compensation you can receive depends on various factors, including the severity of your injuries, medical costs, lost wages, and emotional distress. During your free consultation, our attorneys will evaluate your case and provide a realistic estimate of what you may be entitled to.

Yes, it’s highly recommended to have an attorney when dealing with insurance companies. Insurance companies often try to offer low settlements or deny claims altogether. The Reyes Firm’s experienced attorneys will ensure your rights are protected, negotiate with the insurance company on your behalf, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Yes, you can still file a personal injury claim even if you were partially at fault. However, your compensation may be reduced based on your level of responsibility. In many states, comparative negligence laws allow you to recover damages, even if you share some degree of fault. Our attorneys can help you navigate this complex legal issue and maximize your compensation.

The duration of a personal injury case varies depending on factors like the complexity of the case, the willingness of the insurance company to settle, and whether the case goes to trial. Some cases may settle within a few months, while others can take a year or more. The Reyes Firm will work diligently to resolve your case as efficiently as possible while ensuring your best interests are served.

A contingency fee is a payment arrangement where our firm only gets paid if we win your case. This means there are no upfront costs for you. We take a percentage of the settlement or judgment, and if we don’t win, you don’t owe us anything. This ensures you can access legal representation without financial risk.
