Frequently Asked Questions
I do not have any money to pay for legal representation. Can you still help me?
YES. De Rose Barristers & Solicitors will represent you without seeking payment until you receive compensation. Our fees are based on the amount of your settlement or the time we devote to your care as well as other factors. These matters will be discussed with you at the outset so that you understand and feel completely comfortable with what you will be expected to pay.
Do I need representation if I suffer a personal injury from a motor vehicle accident?
YES. Insurance adjusters are at an advantage over the average person who has little or no experience with the legal process of a personal injury claim. Having an experienced personal injury lawyer will ensure that you are properly represented during this stressful time in your life.
How and when should I talk to the insurance company?
In order to claim accident benefits, you must notify your auto insurer or broker and provide them with information in support of your claim. Usually, the insurance company will send an adjuster to meet with you and discuss the collision. You must be aware that anything you discuss with the insurance adjuster will be placed in your file and can affect you in the future.
I thought I was fine after my accident, but now I am in pain. What should I do?
Injuries may not always be discovered immediately after an accident. This does not mean your injuries are not compensable. It is always in your best interest to contact De Rose Barristers & Solicitors immediately following an accident.
How long will it take to resolve my case?
There is no definite answer to this question. Each case is unique and has its own time frame.
I need help to complete all these forms because they are confusing. Can you help me?
YES. When you apply for Accident Benefits, your insurance company sends you many forms that you must fill out prior to receiving any payment. We make this process easier by completing all your forms for you.
