The Buckeye Law Group is part of a nationwide network of personal injury and property damage plaintiff attorneys that has collected over a billion dollars in settlements and verdicts on behalf of injured clients across the United States. Many attorneys in our Buckeye Law Group practice have been actively participating in insurance company negotiations and litigation for decades. We’ve seen it all – including a diverse array of unique accident circumstances and extremely challenging situations. 

Experience really does matter when it comes to personal injury law. It’s not always easy to find adequate evidence to clearly attribute fault or develop a compelling case that clearly demonstrates the extent of your injuries and the negative effects you’ve suffered. We’re confident in our abilities to tackle even the toughest cases because we’ve done so for thousands of clients in the past. 

Absolutely. If a personal injury attorney wants you to pay for a consultation, you should immediately look for a different lawyer. A personal injury consultation is essentially a job interview. You’re the boss interviewing a person who wants the opportunity to work for you, so why should you pay them? 

Personal injury attorneys are acutely aware that most people who are calling are experiencing critical financial problems related to their accident. Your injuries might be keeping you out of work and depriving you of pay checks while you’re also dealing with car repair expenses or medical costs. Many people who call us simply don’t have the funds to pay for a consultation even if we did charge for them. 

The answer should always be nothing. Plaintiff attorneys should never charge you any upfront fees for their representation. Plaintiff attorneys are unique in the legal world in this respect because we operate on a “contingency fee” basis. That means our fee is contingent (based on) what we recover for you in an insurance claim payment, negotiated settlement or trial verdict. Our payment will come out of what the insurance company or defendant pays you, never your own pocket. 

Personal injury attorneys should try to make the process as easy as possible while still striving to reach an ideal outcome for your case. The goal is to give you room to recover and take on the hard work of dealing with the insurance company so you don’t have to. 

However, it’s important to understand that your experience and expenses will be hugely important for developing a compelling case and justifying your damages (medical costs, lost wages and pain and suffering). 

In many cases, you just need to supply us with accident-related documentation like your medical records and bills, pay stubs for calculating your lost wages and other vehicle repair bills. We may need to interview you more thoroughly to build a case that clearly establishes the other party was fully or primarily at fault for your injuries, but those conversations can often wait until you’re on the path to recovery. 

We may also need to work with you to document how your injuries have affected you emotionally and physically to justify the pain and suffering compensation we seek on your behalf.

We’re always willing to make the trip to help our clients.
