Frequently Asked Questions

Greenville personal injury attorney Tim Burch is asked many questions about personal injury, usually in relation to how much money a victim can expect, how long it will take, what’s covered, and more. We are happy to answer all of your questions if you contact our offices, and we have also included some frequently asked questions and answers for your convenience. We hope you find them helpful.

What is personal injury? Personal injury is the area of law which deals with injuries, accidents and deaths that result from the negligent, reckless or intentional conduct of another person. Personal injury claims are handled in civil court, where the responsible party is sued for monetary damages. Insurance companies are also often an issue in personal injury cases, in ensuring adequate payments are made to victims.

How much can I get for my claim? This is a question that we cannot give a definite answer to without a thorough case evaluation. Because every case, claim, injury and accident is different, it is impossible to say exactly how much a claim is worth without doing a thorough evaluation. That is why we offer a free initial consultation to see where you stand; if we do work with you, we will be able to place a dollar amount on your claim and seek to obtain that amount.

What does it cost to have a lawyer represent my claim? No respectable accident attorney would charge up-front for his or her services. We charge nothing up front, only collecting legal fees if we win your case and get money for your claim.

What are the benefits of working with an attorney? A lawyer has the knowledge and experience necessary to be effective. A lawyer will understand what your claim is worth and will be able to guide it through the exact legal procedure to collect compensation.

What factors will count in proving the responsibility of the other person involved? Physical evidence and witness testimony will be the most important factors. Your attorney will know how to use these in your favor to get the outcome you need.

The police say that the car accident was my fault. Should I just admit I was responsible? It is important to never admit liability to anyone: the insurance company, law enforcement or anyone else involved in the accident. By refusing to make a statement, you can protect your rights until your attorney is there to represent you and advise you on what to do next.
