General Personal Injury Questions
There is no clear-cut amount for the various types of claims. Each claim is personal and unique, and so your claim’s worth will depend on a variety of factors. Some things that factor into the value include the total medical bills, type of injury, loss of income, inability to work, physical impairment, emotional distress, scarring, length of treatment, type of care required, and permanent nature of the injury.

What Our Clients Say
Review: 5/5 ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Simmons and Fletcher law firm went above and beyond for me. I was in a bad wreck that requires neck surgery. They constantly called and checked on me to see how I was doing. They showed that they cared about me not just my case. I was also going through a rough divorce case at the same time. They helped me out in so many ways I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to fight for me. Chris Fletcher made sure I got what I deserved. Stephanie Quinn was amazing, she always so caring and checked on me. If I needed anything she acted quickly and made sure things were taken care of. I didn’t have as much stress through this whole process thanks to the hard work and effort they put in. Not many attorneys care about you as a person as well as take care of your case. I would recommend anyone to use Simmons and Fletcher as their attorney.” – Amber R., an actual client.
