Frequently Asked Questions

What does it cost to hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

Hiring a Messa & Associates personal injury lawyer in Pennsylvania or New Jersey is 100% FREE. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means our fees are contingent upon a successful outcome. There are absolutely no upfront costs. Fees are paid if and when monies are recovered as a result of a settlement or verdict.

How do I know if I have a personal injury or medical malpractice case?

The only way to know for sure if you have a legitimate legal claim is to speak with an attorney. Our consultations are 100% FREE and can occur over the phone or in person - whatever is most comfortable for you. Call 877-MessaLaw (637-7252) to set up a meeting with one of our skilled and experienced attorneys.

What is a statute of limitations and when does it begin?

A statute of limitations is a statute, or law, prescribing how long you have to file a certain type of claim. In New Jersey and Pennsylvania, the statute of limitations on personal injury cases is two years. In other states, the statute could be 1-3 years, depending on the claim. The statute begins on the date that you knew or should have known that negligence occurred. If you are considering filing a medical malpractice claim, or any other type of personal injury claim, but you are unsure of your statute of limitations, it is best to contact a personal injury attorney at Messa & Associates. A personal injury attorney will be able to give you a concrete answer as to whether the law will allow you to bring a claim against a negligent party.

How long will it take for my case to be resolved?

There are many steps involved in filing and settling a lawsuit and each step includes the cooperation of many people. Attorney Jenimae Almquist penned a short but thorough explanation of each of the steps involved in litigating a personal injury case. The article is entitled, "What's Taking so Long? The Phases of Litigation," and you can read it here.

Why do I need to provide my medical records? How do I get them?

Medical records are the best (and sometimes only) way to prove medical negligence in your malpractice case. Our attorneys and legal nurse consultants cannot make a real determination as to how to proceed with your case without these records. For information regarding your rights and how to obtain your medical records, click here.

What if my case isn't accepted?

If there is a case which presents issues preventing us from offering representation, we gladly refer it to someone who is equally skilled. We understand our clients are going through pain and stress when coming to us, so we make this transition as smooth as possible.
