What's my Yamaha Rhino case worth?

To determine the value of a Yamaha Rhino case, your lawyer will have to look at many factors.  The most important factor is the severity of your injuries. Information about the severity of your injuries usually comes from your doctor in a medical report in which he or she comments on your injuries.

Another important factor is how your injuries affect you. For example, a broken finger to most people is not that severe an injury. If you happen to be a concert pianist, however, a broken finger can be a terrible loss. Thus, it's important that we know a lot about you and how your injuries have impacted your life. Other factors include the amount of your medical bills, the amount of your wage loss, whether you have any scars, what impact your injuries will have on your future earning capacity and a host of other issues.

Every Yamaha Rhino case is different, and it depends on the skill and experience of your lawyer to know how much compensation to seek and the best course of action for obtaining that compensation.

What kind of attorney should I get for my Yamaha Rhino case?

The short answer: get one with extensive experience handling claims like yours. You will need a lawyer with extensive experience in both ATV accidents and product liability because there may be multiple causes of action involving multiple parties.  A lawyer with this kind of experience will be able to determine what your case is worth and have the ability to obtain the compensation you deserve.  You also need a lawyer that is part of a successful law firm with the resources to handle your case.  It may take years before any of the liable parties pay any compensation.  The law firm handling your case needs to have the resources to pay for expenses all the way through a trial, if the case is not settled first. 

Be ready to ask tough questions:

  • Who in this firm is going to have direct reponsibility for my Yamaha Rhino rollover case?
  • How often can I expect to hear from my lawyer?
  • Will he or she answer my phone calls?
  • What is their plan for my Yamaha Rhino case?

In the end, trust your gut feeling. If you don't feel comfortable with a lawyer, you should probably keep looking.

What does it cost to hire a lawyer for my Yamaha Rhino case?

Virtually all attorneys who limit their practice to personal injury, including product liability and ATV accident attorneys, charge a percentage of the recovery, usually one-third. You don't have to pay any money up front. If there's a recovery the attorney gets paid out of that. If there's no recovery, you won't have to pay any fees at all. You don't have to pay any hourly charges or lump sums called "retainers." There's also the issue of costs. "Costs" are out of pocket expenses like the amount of money a hospital charges for duplicating your medical records, or the filing fee the courts charge for filing a claim. Most law firms (like ours) pay those costs. We're reimbursed for those costs when the case is settled or when there is a recovery after a jury verdict. Remember: To hire a good attorney for your Yamaha Rhino case, it won't cost anything "up front."

Will I have to go to trial if I choose to make a claim?

Most cases settle out of court. In fact, some studies show that only about 5% of personal injury cases go all the way to trial. Of course, if you want to go to trial, you have the right to do so. You always have the right to reject a settlement offer and let a jury decide the value of your Yamaha Rhino case.

Do I have a say in what goes on in my case?

Of course. A good attorney involves the client in every phase and aspect of the client’s case. You are the one who suffered the injuries; you should be the one who ultimately calls the shots. No settlement or decision to go to court is made unless you say so. You can even decide to drop the claim. You're the one in charge. If any lawyer acts differently, get a new lawyer.
