Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay right away?
You don’t pay any fees unless you receive financial compensation via a verdict or settlement. Romanucci & Blandin advances all costs, and there is never a fee until you are compensated for your injuries at the end of the case. You pay nothing up front or during the legal process.
What if we don’t win my case?
If there is no recovery, you pay no legal fees.
Will I have to go to trial?
Probably not. Most cases settle before trial. However, trial preparation is essential to obtain the maximum settlement value.
How long will it take to settle my case?
Every case is different. One of our attorneys will discuss how long settlement is likely to take in your particular case.
I’ve just been injured, should I file a lawsuit?
It is vital to wait until you complete your medical treatment and know the full extent of your injuries before attempting settlement, but understanding your legal options at this point is a good next step.
What if English is not my first language?
We can work with clients from any community with the help of translators. Language should not be a barrier to justice.
How do I get started?
