Frequently asked questions

Nothing. Calls are at no charge. If you connect with an attorney and they take your case, they work on contingency — no fee unless they win.

Personal Injury Legal Centers is an intake and matching service. We are not a law firm and not a lawyer referral service. The attorneys you speak with are independently licensed in your state and practice locally — they pay a fee to receive calls from people who request a consultation.

A representative will ask a few questions about your accident, then connect you with a personal injury attorney in your area. That attorney — not Personal Injury Legal Centers — decides whether to take your case.

No. The initial call is informational. If you choose to hire the attorney, you sign an agreement directly with their firm — never with Personal Injury Legal Centers.

Many callers are connected with an attorney during the same call. If the attorney is not available at that moment, they will call you back as soon as they can — often the same day.

We connect callers with attorneys handling: car, truck, motorcycle, rideshare, pedestrian, and bicycle accidents; slip and fall and other premises liability; dog bites and animal attacks; product liability and defective products; nursing home abuse and neglect; wrongful death; and catastrophic injury claims. If your situation falls outside these categories, the representative will let you know on the call.

You do not have to know. Call and tell the attorney what happened. They will tell you, at no charge, whether your situation is worth pursuing. If it is not, they will say so.

The deadline — called the statute of limitations — varies by state and case type. It can be as short as one year or as long as several years. Do not assume you have time. Call as soon as possible so an attorney can review the deadline that applies to your case.

Often, yes. Many states allow injured people to recover even when they share some of the fault. The exact rules vary by state and by the percentage of fault. An attorney can tell you how the rules in your state apply to your situation.

If you already signed a release, your options are usually limited. Call anyway — in some situations there may still be avenues available, and an attorney can walk you through them at no charge.

On contingency. You pay nothing up front. The attorney is paid only if they recover money for you — a percentage of the recovery, as set out in the agreement you sign with their firm.

Under a contingency agreement, you owe no attorney fee if the attorney does not recover money for you. Costs and expenses are handled under the written agreement between you and the firm.

Not for the call and not for the attorney’s initial review of your case. Any costs later in the case are handled under the written agreement between you and the attorney’s firm.
