Questions and answers
What does this cost me?
Nothing. The review, the phone call and the introduction to a law firm are all free. The firms in these cases generally work on a contingency basis, meaning their fee comes out of a recovery rather than from you up front — but the terms are theirs to explain, and you should get them in writing before signing.
Are you a law firm?
No. We are a lead intake service. We listen to what happened, review it, and connect you with a law firm that handles that kind of claim. We do not give legal advice and nobody here becomes your lawyer.
Do I need documents or medical records to start?
No. Start with what you know. Records help later, and if your claim moves forward the law firm will tell you exactly what they need and often help you get it. Not having them now is not a reason to wait.
What if I do not remember exact dates?
Approximate is fine to begin with. Roughly which year, roughly how long — that is enough for a first conversation. Nobody expects you to have it all to hand.
How long will it take?
The review and the call happen quickly, usually within a day. A claim itself is slower: cases of this kind can take a long time, sometimes years, because they involve a lot of evidence and many people at once. Anyone who promises you a fast result is guessing.
Will I definitely get money?
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. We cannot promise you have a claim, that a firm will take it, or that anything will come of it. What we can tell you is whether your situation is the kind of thing firms are currently looking at, and connect you if it is.
How much is my case worth?
We cannot tell you, and we would be making it up if we tried. It depends on your diagnosis, your evidence, how you have been affected, and how the litigation develops. A lawyer who has read your records is the only person who can give you a considered answer.
Is it too late for me?
Possibly not. Every claim has a filing deadline, and it varies by claim type and by state — and in some cases the clock starts when you found out you were harmed rather than when it happened. It is worth asking rather than assuming. Tell us if you think your deadline may be close.
Who will contact me, and how?
Our intake team will call you at the number you gave, and a law firm may contact you afterwards about your claim. If you ticked the consent box you agreed to be contacted by phone, text and email, including by automated systems. You can withdraw that at any time — reply STOP to a text, tell the person who calls, or email us.
What happens to my information?
It goes to our intake team and to a law firm handling your type of claim. We do not sell it to advertisers or data brokers, and this site uses no advertising or tracking cookies. Our privacy policy sets out exactly what is collected and why.
Can I claim on behalf of someone else?
Often yes — for a child, or for a family member who has died or cannot act for themselves. Tell us the situation when you get in touch and we will ask the right questions. Do not submit somebody else's details unless you are entitled to act for them.
What if I already spoke to another firm?
Tell us. If you have already signed with a law firm, you are represented and you should speak to them rather than to us. If you only had a conversation and nothing came of it, that is different, and it is worth a second look.
Do you take cases outside the United States?
No. These claims are brought in US courts and we work only with US law firms.
I would rather talk to a person than fill in a form.
Then call the number at the top of any page. You will reach the same intake team, and you do not have to fill in anything first.
