The law is confusing and frustrating. Issues that initially seem clear, can quickly become complicated. That’s why you need a local lawyer on your side. Only an experienced Monroe County attorney can know all the steps necessary to recover adequate damages for your injury in this unique area of our state. Usually, we can promptly give you at least a rough evaluation of your case. Being a local personal injury law firm, we can and will navigate your case through difficult legal maze to reach a fair and reasonable result.

Building blocks to the right answer are: (1) liability (2) damages and (3) resource.

Here’s what I mean:

Liability: who is legally at fault? We launch a thorough investigation of your case. Sometimes we find that more than one party is to blame. This is often the case.

Damages: how badly is the victim hurt; what are his or her medical expenses; is there a continuing pattern of medical treatment by accredited medical providers; and are his or her injuries permanent? We carefully read all treatment records and often meet personally with treating physicians to discuss the nature and extent of one’s injury, the lasting disability and future medical care that may be required.

Resource: who will pay? We look for every possible source of insurance that may be available. Sometimes, multiple levels of insurance are in play. We also investigate the person or company that caused harm to determine if they could independently compensate the loss.

Through an experienced evaluation of liability, damages and resources, we can fairly approximate the value of your case. We then speak directly with you about our options in light of your own expectations and needs. Our goal is to get you out of the hole and leave you with as much cash as possible from your injury ordeal.

Yes, you can.

Explaining your case to us is free. We do not charge an hourly fee. We do not work on retainer. In fact, we don’t charge our clients anything unless and until we succeed in collecting money damages for you. This type of arrangement is called a “Contingency Fee Agreement” and, although despised by insurers and big business, this fee arrangement is essential in granting access to justice for all. We advance the expenses required to prepare your case. We do not ask you for any money in advance. When your case is over, the attorney’s fees are deducted per our agreement and the advanced costs are reimbursed to us from the proceeds of your recovery. The bottom line is that we don’t get paid unless you get paid.

This Contingent Fee Arrangement puts a qualified attorney within reach of everyone. It affords compensation based on the quality of the result and assures you that a quick and complete recovery is also in your lawyer’s best interest.

There is no general rule and no right answer to suit every circumstance. Regardless of the option that you and your lawyer may choose, the key to either approach is in the hard work and careful preparation of your case.

Here’s the truth. Regardless of what you see on TV, insurance companies are not the accident victim’s friend. They can and will do any and everything to prevent you from realizing a fair and honorable resolution of your injury claim. Trials are becoming less and less common. Nearly 80% of all cases are settled before reaching a jury. Mediated resolutions are attainable if the injured victim and attorney demonstrate an ability and a willingness to go through trial. A fair settlement is advantageous because it offers a quicker and more certain outcome than protracted litigation.

There are times, however, when offers from insurers are simply not realistic. There may be other considerations as well that make going to court the better option for you. In those instances, The Solomon Firm will vigorously litigate your case in state or federal court.

Our goal, is to balance your interest in receiving the maximum recovery and seeing the case through quickly, and fairly with the least interruption to your life.
