If you have suffered from a personal injury in the San Francisco Bay Area, or anywhere in California, you may be entitled to recover monetary damages for 1) Past and future medical bills 2) Lost wages 3) Loss of earning capacity 4) Loss of consortium 5) Loss of household services (having to pay others to do things you were once able to do yourself) 6) Pain, suffering, inconvenience, and 6) Other incidental expenses caused by the injury. You are also entitled to recoup monetary damages for any damage to your property. Which of these damages you are entitled to recover depends on a detailed factual analysis of your case. Consult with an attorney to know what types of damages you are able to recover in your specific case.

You need to submit the bill to your medical insurance provider and pay any co-pays, or pay what is billed. Many people wonder, “Why should my insurance pay for it, I wasn’t at fault.” If you do not submit the bills to your insurance, do not pay the bills out of pocket, or fail to get the payments delayed pending the resolution of your personal injury action, you run the risk of marring your credit, with the bill being sent to collections. While many people understand that the at-fault party’s insurance is required to pay for medical bills related to a personal injury case, many do not understand that the defendant’s insurance is in an adversarial role and does not pay out claims like your own insurance would. The defendant’s insurance won’t pay your bills one at a time as they come in.

Many factors affect how long it will take your lawyer to resolve your personal injury case. Gruber Law Group resolved a case in as little as two weeks, but such a settlement occurred under exceptional circumstances. Much more common is for cases to be resolved within 1-3 years from the time you retain an attorney, less if you have already completed your medical treatment. Your personal injury case shouldn’t be settled until after you have finished your medical treatment. Following the conclusion of your treatment, your medical records must be ordered and the documentation needs to be fully acquired that supports your personal injury claim. This takes a significant amount of your time and your lawyer’s time.

Gruber Law Group charges clients based on a contingency fee. In other words, whether you pay GLG or not is contingent on whether we obtain any monetary recovery for you. We will never charge you an attorney’s fee unless a monetary recovery is made on your behalf in your personal injury matter. Gruber Law Group also advances all the costs associated with your case, including filing fees, expert fees, investigative fees, and medical records request fees. If GLG is unsuccessful in winning your case and obtaining a monetary award on your behalf, you will not be responsible for reimbursing us for these costs. Gruber Law Group also guarantees that our attorney’s fee will never exceed the amount of money you put in your own pocket following the conclusion of your case.
