Q: I have been injured. What should I do next?
A: Your first action should be to seek a qualified law firm that is experienced in Wisconsin personal injury litigation. Don't assume that an insurance company is looking out for your best interests. You are on your own. Insurance companies will look to minimize their obligation through a quick settlement - one that may not be fair to you once everything is taken into consideration.
Q: I plan to interview several Wisconsin law firms. Will I have to pay for my first meeting with Doar Drill & Skow?
A: There is no fee or commitment required for an initial consultation.
Q: How are legal fees structured? Will the firm work under a contingent fee?
A: Our Wisconsin personal injury cases are almost always handled on a contingent fee basis. That means there is no cost to you until a settlement is reached or a decision rendered. Our fees will come out of that sum.
Q: What will I owe Doar Drill & Skow if my case is not successful?
A: Nothing. But if you have a legitimate case, there usually is a settlement or judgment, from which we will draw a certain percentage as our fee.
Q: What type of damages can I expect to recover?
A: There is no way to easily predict damage settlements. Each case is different. As part of our evaluation, we will investigate similar claims and exchange opinions among members of the firm to determine a recommendation on a fair and equitable settlement.
Q: How long will it take to complete my case?
A: We will not settle your case until you complete your treatment. Investigating a claim can also take a significant amount of time. Most cases are settled within 18 months. However, it may take longer to take a case to trial.
Q: Will my case go to trial or can I expect an out-of-court settlement?
A: This depends on the complexity of the case, the willingness of the other party to make an offer and your willingness to accept the offer, based upon our counsel to you. Most cases are settled out of court.
Q: What if Doar Drill & Skow can't take my case?
A: We will give you our best opinion - regardless of whether or not we accept your case. Our reputation has been built upon effectiveness, honesty and candor. We will tell you if a case is not right for us.
