Frequently Asked Questions

High Stakes Injury Law works on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing upfront. We only get paid if we win your case, taking a percentage of the final settlement or verdict. This allows you to pursue justice without financial risk.

Stay at the scene, call 911, and seek medical attention. Document everything—photos, witness info, and police reports. Avoid admitting fault and don’t speak to insurance adjusters without legal advice. If you’re unsure what to do next, High Stakes Injury Law can guide you through the process.

If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence and suffered damages (medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering), you may have a claim. A consultation can help determine your options. At High Stakes Injury Law, we offer free case evaluations to assess your claim and explain your legal options.

You may be entitled to economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages, property damage) and non-economic damages (pain and suffering, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life).

Statutes of limitations vary by state, but generally, you have a limited time to file—often 2-3 years. Acting quickly protects your right to compensation.

The process includes an initial consultation, investigation, filing a claim, negotiations, and potential litigation. Many cases settle before trial, but High Stakes Injury Law prepares every case as if it will go to court, ensuring you’re in the strongest position possible.

Avoid admitting fault, delaying medical treatment, failing to document the scene, and giving recorded statements to insurance adjusters without legal guidance.

Timelines vary based on injury severity, insurance negotiations, and whether litigation is needed. Some cases settle in months, while others take over a year.

You may still recover compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage or other legal options. We can help explore your best path forward.

You must prove the property owner knew or should have known about the hazard and failed to fix it. Evidence like surveillance footage, witness statements, and medical records can strengthen your case.

Report the incident, document the scene, seek medical care, and avoid signing anything from the property owner’s insurance company before consulting an attorney.

In most cases, workers’ compensation is your primary remedy, but if a third party (like a contractor or equipment manufacturer) was negligent, you may have a separate personal injury claim.

Catastrophic injuries include brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, amputations, and other life-altering conditions requiring long-term care.

Typically, immediate family members (spouse, children, or parents) can file a wrongful death claim. Some states allow extended family or representatives of the estate to take legal action. High Stakes Injury Law understands the emotional toll of these cases and fights to secure the compensation your family deserves.
