Is there any cost associated with your law firm analyzing my potential railroad injury case involving cancer or mesothelioma?

No. Our firm offers free initial consultations. If you decide to hire us, we only charge a contingent fee, meaning that we only charge a legal fee if there is a successful verdict in your case.  As with most all law firms, we also advance case costs and court expenses on behalf of a client and do not ask the client to advance those sums-they are repaid at time of settlement.

Is there a way to check out my doctor or surgeon before choosing one?

While you can never find out every little thing about your doctor, there are a few things you can do to make an informed decision. First, ask questions: – Where did you go to medical school? – What American Board of Medical Specialty Certifications do you have? – How long have you been practicing? – Are there any disciplinary actions outstanding against you? All of these are perfectly legitimate to ask. But, if you don’t want to talk to your doctor about this, you can get all this information from http://www.askmedi.com/ for $15. Shopping around for a good physician is one of the best medical decisions you can make.  For other information about medical negligence/case results of our firm, surf around this website.  Call us for a free consultation.
