The unfortunate truth is that statistics say that almost everyone is going to be in some sort of auto accident. The accident may be a big one or it may be a small one. It may have been your fault or the other driver might be the cause. But, the statistics say it is going to happen one way or another.
Minor car accidents happen. They are nothing big deal and they are certainly nothing to lose sleep over. They are also no reason for you to rush to your phone and contact a lawyer who specializes in personal injury in Wichita. You are going to look very silly calling one for minor bumps and dings.
You reach out to a lawyer than handles Personal Injury in Wichita cases when you get in an accident that causes an injury. The injury could be yours or someone else in your car. It could also just be very serious damage to your vehicle. Either way, if the wreck was not your fault you should not have to foot the medical bills or the auto repair bills, should you?
One of the benefits to hiring a personal injury lawyer is that they usually guarantee their services. This does not mean that they guarantee that they are going to win your case. This just means that they are going to work on a contingency basis. A contingency basis means that you would pay them with a percentage of the money you win if you win.
Hiring a personal injury lawyer that works on a contingency basis is always a good idea because it is no secret that they want to get paid. The only way they are getting paid is by winning your case. They will be extra motivated to win your case, so they can get a chunk of your settlement. You just need to make sure you read the fine print and know how much of the settlement they get. You do not want to hire a lawyer that wants you to give them 40 to 50 percent of your settlement. You want someone who is going to charge 10 to 25 percent of the total settlement. You can start by asking law firms such as Prochaska, Giroux and Howell LLC how they charge for their services.
