Common Questions

If you have been injured due to someone else’s negligence (car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, or other accidents), you are well advised to speak with a personal injury attorney. At BENNAIM Law Group, we offer free consultations to injured individuals who were not at fault.

Many clients begin claims themselves and find it stressful or costly to coordinate medical care out of pocket. Once retained, we gather the required information, notify insurance carriers, and direct them to communicate with our office so you can focus on recovery.

Your interests and the insurer’s interests are not the same. Adjusters may offer guidance that isn’t in your best interest. Always seek an opinion from a personal injury lawyer to understand your rights. We provide free consultations to injured, not‑at‑fault individuals.

No. BENNAIM Law Group never charges for initial consultations, and there are no up‑front costs to you to speak with us about your potential case.

We work on a contingency‑fee basis: if we do not win, we do not get paid. Our fee structure is consistent with top personal injury firms handling serious matters. There are no up‑front costs for representation.

Every case is different. Value depends on liability, injuries, medical treatment, wage loss, and other damages. Our attorneys draw on extensive experience to pursue the maximum recovery available for your case.

A personal injury lawyer represents injured people to recover compensation. We investigate the facts, handle insurer communications, prepare a demand package, negotiate settlement, and—if needed—file suit and represent you in court. If you prevail, we help resolve liens and disburse funds properly.

If the at‑fault driver lacks insurance, you may be able to make a claim under your own policy if you carry uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. We can review your policy and options with you.

Ask whether the firm actively litigates cases and is prepared to go to trial if necessary. Some firms that do not litigate may be more likely to settle prematurely. Our consultations are free and our attorneys have decades of combined trial experience.

  1. If safe, move yourself/vehicle out of harm’s way; otherwise use hazard lights.
  2. Check on others and call 911; file a police report to document fault and details.
  3. Gather information: driver/passenger names, vehicles, plates, insurance, location, witnesses; take photos.
  4. Seek medical attention promptly—even for “hidden” injuries that appear days later—and follow doctor’s advice.
  5. Contact an attorney to protect your rights and help coordinate care and the claim process.

  • Don’t skip calling law enforcement—an official report often proves critical.
  • Don’t leave the scene.
  • Don’t wait too long to pursue your claim—deadlines (statutes of limitation) apply and vary by state.
