Question 2: I don't know if
I can afford a lawyer. If I hire a lawyer, how much does
it cost?
Answer: We provide free consultation and work on a contingency
base, which means there are no upfront costs to you and
there is no fee to you until we recover money for you
or win your case.

Question 3: How do I deal
with the insurance companies? They say they are here to
help me. Is that true?
Answer: Unlike your lawyer, insurance companies may not
have your your best interests at heart, even though they
might tell you that they are.
Insurance companies are more interested in the amounts
they pay to injured people than they are in helping you
get what you deserve for your injuries.
We are experienced personal injury lawyers who know how
to deal with the insurance companies. We have the knowledge
and the strength to make sure that the insurance companies
treat you fairly.

Question 4: How long will
my personal injury case take?
Answer: Generally, a personal injury case takes time.
There are many factors which determine the actual length
of time, the most important of which is the decision on
whether to settle or go to trial. As experts in trial
law, Edelman & Edelman believes strongly in the jury
process and is committed to staying the course of a trial.

Question 5: Do I have a medical
malpractice case?
Answer: Tragically, there are many times when people
suffer or die during the course of medical treatment.
When things end sadly, it is sometimes just the natural
course of events, and it is not anyone's fault.
But when a healthcare provider failed to meet the standards
of treatment, there is something worse than illness at
work -- there is malpractice or negligence.
We can help you understand if you or a loved one has
a malpractice case.
