How much will it cost to prosecute the case? |
| A: |
Even though the costs involved with a case can run anywhere from $20,000 to $90,000 and up, it costs you nothing, unless there is a recovery. The Plymale Partnership will advance the costs of the litigation and charge you nothing unless a settlement or judgment is collected. |

Q: |
How does The Plymale Partnership get paid? |
| A: |
Legal fees come from a percentage of the total amount of benefits we recover from the insurance company on your behalf. In most cases, however, we are able to require the insurance company to pay our legal fee in addition to also paying your benefits. If the amount of the court ordered fee equals or exceeds the contingency fee, then you receive all of your benefits without any portion being deducted for legal expenses. |

The answer to this question can vary greatly depending on the complexity of the case. For instance, the typical personal injury claim related to a car accident can take between 5 months to 2 years to be resolved. A medical malpractice case can take between 1 and 2 years from the date the complaint is filed to get resolved. |
