How much money is my case worth? Your case is worth either what you agree with the insurance company it's worth or the amount of a cash award granted by a judge and jury. We examine all of the conditions surrounding your case in order to arrive at a figure that we believe the insurance company must pay for your injuries. Generally, the dollar value is dependent upon the type and extent of your injuries. Other factors influencing the dollar value of your case are the amount of medical bills, length of treatment, frequency of treatment, future medical bills, permanent disabilities and any other damage that can be documented. We study every detail so that we can get you the money you deserve for your injuries.

How long will it take to get a fair and reasonable settlement offer? Connecticut cases can vary in length from weeks, months, to even years in some instances. Typically, you will get paid after you have healed from your injuries and have been released by the doctor. This is the best way you can be assured of receiving full compensation for your injuries. We want you to get this compensation for your injuries, so we wait until treatment is completed before telling the insurance company how much your case is worth. We never rest, however. While we wait for your treatment to be completed, we gather the information that increases the value of your Connecticut case. We constantly do everything we can to move your case forward toward settlement.

Will I have to go to court? If the insurance company agrees to pay what we believe your case is worth and you wish to settle for that amount, then your case will not go to court. This is what happens in most situations. Some cases do require a formal trial proceeding, however. In either situation, hiring a firm like The Bojka Law Offices with experience in handling personal injury cases is critical. We prepare all of our cases as if they are going to court and this is the very reason why most of our cases get settled outside of court. We are always prepared, and our preparation allows us to negotiate from a position of strength, helping you get the maximum award for your injuries.

How much will Bojka Law Offices charge? There are several ways that an injury lawyer charges for services. At our law firm, this is how we charge: there is no charge for your first visit or telephone call.  We also do not charge for subsequest telephone calls or meetings. All your questions will be answered and there is no obligation. We never charge an attorney's fee unless we obtain a recovery for you. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery. If a recovery is not made, you pay nothing for attorney's fees. We do not charge any fee for helping you settle your claim for damage to your vehicle.
