How much does a personal-injury lawyer cost?

Almost always contingency — typically 33%–40% of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no fee.

How long do I have to file?

The statute of limitations varies by state (usually 1–6 years). Call as early as possible so evidence and witnesses aren't lost.

What if I'm partially at fault?

Most states use comparative negligence — you can still recover, reduced by your share of fault.
