Q. How do I know if I have a good case?

A: Talking to an experienced personal injury attorney is the best way to evaluate the merits of your claim. The Pearce Law Firm offers a free, no obligation evaluation of your case and will tell you whether your case has merit. There is no obligation to you whatsoever for this free consultation.

Q. What if I have a good case but can’t afford legal fees?

A: We take most toxic substance lawsuits on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t owe us any fees up front and only pay if and when we obtain compensation for you. Our fee is then a percentage of what we collect on your behalf.

Q. How much do you think my claim is worth?

A: It is, of course, impossible to answer this question before investigating your toxic substance claim; however, we may be able to give you a likely range based on the facts and merits of the circumstances surrounding your accident.

Some factors that determine the value of a claim include how serious the accident was, how severe the injuries, whether the injuries are permanent or temporary, whether the injured party was an income earner or supporting others, the cost of medical treatments, whether there was or is pain and suffering, whether negligence was involved, whether lifelong care will be involved, etc. etc. Please feel free to call or e-mail us and we would be happy to give you the benefit of our experience and offer you a free, no obligation personal injury consultation and provide a realistic estimate of what your case might be worth.

Q. The insurance company representative says I don’t need a lawyer. Is this true?

A: Insurance Company representatives are paid to represent the insurance company's best interest and to minimize their payouts.

Q. Will I have to go to trial to collect what is due to me or can we settle out of court?

A: The Pearce Law Firm believes very strongly in our motto “Working Toward Settlement While Aggressively Preparing For Trial.” While the majority of toxic substance claims we handle do settle without having to go to court, the more prepared we are for trial, the better your settlement, and the more likely are the chances the other side will want to settle.

Q: My husband died years ago from one of the diseases you mentioned, but I didn’t know it was work related. Can I still make a claim? How soon do I have to file a claim?

A: Every state has different laws that limit the time for individuals and their families to file claims for being exposed to toxic substances. You can be barred from filing a claim if you do not file your case within these time frames. It is important to contact The Pearce Law Firm immediately to protect your rights.

Q: The company that is responsible is no longer in business, do I still have a claim?

A: It is critical to consult with a personal injury attorney to see if there are other responsible parties and a bankruptcy fund or other funds available to make your claim.

Q: I no longer work for the company that caused my problem, can I still make a claim?

A: You can generally still make a claim within a certain period of time. However, it may take additional investigation to see if there are other responsible parties.

Q: Why should I choose The Pearce Law Firm to represent me?

A: Edith Pearce is a successful, sought-after New Jersey and Pennsylvania personal injury attorney with a great track record and many years of trial experience. Edith Pearce is intelligent (a member of MENSA) and has been recognized as the best of the best by her peers, being named a 2005 “Super Lawyer,” reserved for the top 5% of Pennsylvania lawyers and receiving the highest rating, “AV”, from Martindale-Hubble. In addition, before representing the rights of injured people, Ms. Pearce worked for both a large insurance company and also a law firm that defended (rather than filed) claims. As a result, she has a decided advantage in working with insurance companies and defense lawyers in getting her clients the maximum compensation and delivers superior results. Unlike the huge firms with dozens of attorneys where many different attorneys may be handling different aspects of your case, Edith Pearce is involved in your entire case from start to finish. She genuinely cares about her clients and you will not be treated like just another case or file. Put her inside knowledge, intelligence, compassion and experience to work for you.
