Most personal injury

Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. That means if you do not win your case, you pay nothing. You only pay if you recover in your lawsuit. However, there are laws called statutes of limitations which govern the time period within which you have to file a case against someone who you think is responsible for your injuries. The statutes of limitations vary by state. You should contact an attorney well versed in the area of personal injury as soon as possible.
