Frequently Asked Questions
In what areas of law do you specialize?
California and US law encompasses many areas. Some lawyers may handle various areas simultaneously; however, our firm specializes in personal injury cases stemming from traffic accidents, premises liability, and dog bites.
We advise selecting a law firm that primarily focuses on cases similar to yours. As the saying goes, “jack of all trades, master of none.”
At El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers, with decades of experience in motor vehicle accidents and premises liability, we have honed our negotiation tactics and mastered the litigation process.
Can you handle my case?
We may be able to help if you’ve been seriously injured in an accident on California’s roads or at a business due to someone else’s negligence. Competent attorneys typically recognize their limitations and refrain from accepting cases that lack merit or that they cannot dedicate adequate attention to.
What is your assessment of my claim?
While it’s natural to assume that your case is straightforward because you weren’t at fault for the accident, every personal injury claim is unique. An attorney can provide an objective assessment of your case’s strength and potential financial outcome.
Will my case go to trial?
While settlement is the most common outcome for the majority of cases, some cases will proceed to trial if an equitable settlement amount cannot be reached through negotiation with the insurance company. You want to entrust your claim to an attorney who will do everything to get you a settlement through negotiations but is also prepared to go to court if the need arises.
El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers provides the exceptional benefit of consistent representation. You will work with the same attorney throughout the entirety of your case, ensuring familiarity and trust, even if your case proceeds to trial. We do not outsource cases to other law firms, guaranteeing dedicated and personalized attention.
What is your experience with personal injury law?
With a 99% success rate and over 50 years of combined experience in personal injury law, El Dabe Ritter Trial Lawyers has a proven track record. If we take on your case, you can be confident in our ability to deliver results.
What is your contingency fee?
If you’re seeking a personal injury attorney, it’s common to find that most work on a contingency fee basis.
This means that you will only be responsible for payment if the attorney successfully secures compensation on your behalf.
The specific percentage of this contingency fee can vary depending on the specifics of your case, but typically falls within a range of 33% to 45% of the total recovery amount.
When selecting an attorney, it is crucial to inquire about potential additional fees or out-of-pocket expenses that may arise during the course of your case.
