No. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no upfront costs and you pay no fees unless we win your case.

The short answer is 2 years. However, If you want your insurance company to cover your medical bills so the expenses do not come out of your settlement, you need to see a doctor, clinic, urgent care or chiropractor within the first 14 days of the accident. You can still have a case if you don't, but the bills will be paid from your settlement if any.

CALL 911 & Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to the authorities - CALL the Police so you get an accident report, document the scene by taking pictures and or video of the cars, the street and damages. Get the names and phone numbers of any independent witnesses, not just the people in your car. CALL PHIL contact us before speaking to insurance companies. Do NOT sign any documents or receive any checks from the insurance company without contacting a lawyer.

You should contact us as soon as possible. Prompt action helps us preserve evidence and protect your rights from the very beginning. The sooner the better.

We handle car, truck, motorcycle, pedestrian, rideshare (Uber/Lyft), and slip-and-fall accidents, as well as wrongful death claims. ANY Injury caused by someone else's fault or negligence. The phone call is FREE and we can tell you if you have a case or not.

The truth is the majority of cases do NOT go to trial and they are settled out of court. The value of a case depends on many factors like the injuries, the insurance company and who was at fault. Call us and Mr. Stillman will be happy to explain your case value and if in his professional experience you have a case and how long it should take. In the end, you are in control of your case. If you do not see a doctor and do not get medical care timely and regularly, there may be little to no settlement. It is NOT free money. The insurance company is compensating you for any injury and permanent damage you have suffered due to their insured's fault or negligence. Keep that in mind.

The truth is NO. But in the real world, what we have seen after 30+ years is that people who decide to settle or work it out with the insurance company directly always lose and get less money than if they used a lawyer. Simply put, insurance companies have lawyers on their side and you should too. Otherwise, they will mislead you and try to get you to take a smaller offer to save themselves money. An experienced personal injury lawyer like Mr. Stillman knows their tactics and has seen every trick in the book to not pay the claims. You wouldn't have a foot doctor operate on your spine or an electrician fix your toilet.
