Frequently Asked Questions 2
-
Does it cost anything to hire Spencer Calahan Injury Lawyers in Metairie?
No. Our firm works on a contingency fee basis. There are no upfront costs, no retainer fees, and no charges during your case. We only collect a fee after we recover compensation for you. And if we don’t win, you owe us nothing.
-
What types of cases do you handle for Metairie clients?
We handle personal injury cases involving motor vehicle accidents exclusively. This includes car accidents, truck and commercial vehicle collisions, motorcycle crashes, and vehicle-involved pedestrian accidents. We do not handle unrelated areas of law such as family law, criminal defense, or bankruptcy, only motor vehicle injury cases.
-
How quickly should I contact an attorney after my accident?
As soon as possible. Evidence degrades fast, witness memories fade, and insurance companies start building their defense immediately after a crash. The sooner you contact our team, the stronger your position becomes.
-
The insurance company already made me an offer. Should I accept it?
Do not accept any offer without speaking to us first. Initial settlement offers from insurance companies are designed to close your claim before you find out what it’s actually worth. We offer free consultations for exactly this reason. We’ll review your case at no cost and give you an honest assessment of what you’re entitled to recover.
-
Will my case go to court?
Most cases don’t. We settle 95% of our cases out of court for insurance policy limits. If the insurance company won’t negotiate fairly, however, our attorneys are fully prepared and willing to take your case to trial to get you the outcome you deserve.
