Questions
What people ask us before they call
If yours isn't here, ask Leyla. There's no charge for asking.
First steps
How long do I have to bring a claim?
It depends on the state and the kind of claim, and it can be as short as two years, or less against a city or county. Call early, even if you're still in treatment.
Should I see a doctor even if I feel all right?
Yes. Some injuries show up days later, and a gap between the crash and your first visit is something insurers point to.
What should I keep?
Photos, the crash report number, every bill and letter, and a note of days you missed work. Don't post about the crash online.
Costs
What does it cost to hire you?
No fee unless we recover money for you. Our fee is a share of the recovery, written into the agreement before you sign.
Who pays the case costs?
We advance them. They're repaid from a recovery; if there isn't one, you don't owe them.
Who pays my medical bills while the claim is open?
Usually your health insurance or your own auto policy's medical coverage first. Shun helps you keep track of what's owed back.
Working with us
Will a lawyer actually talk to me?
Yes. The lawyer on your case meets you before you sign and calls you at every turn that matters.
I live a long way from your offices.
We drive out to clients across the tri-state area, and much of a case can be handled by phone and mail.
Can we meet in Spanish?
Yes. Mireya meets clients in Spanish in Sioux City or wherever you are.
Still wondering whether you have a case?
Fifteen minutes on the phone usually answers it.
