Personal Injury Lawyer
A Personal Injury Lawyer is a lawyer who specializes in providing legal services to individuals who claim to have been injured as a result of the negligence of another party. This party at fault is often referred to as the “third party”, and could be a single person, company, government agency, or an entity.
Lawyer for Injury
A personal injury lawyer represents both psychological injuries and physical injuries, without discrimination. When you hire a personal injury lawyer, you are gaining access to their expertise in tort law. A personal injury lawyer aims to make sure that the injured party is relieved of as much stress (whether be financial, emotional, medical, etc.) and properly honored for their suffering. Furthermore, a personal injury lawyer will work hard to make sure that others are discouraged from committing the same offense, thus avoiding future victims of similar injuries.
Disability Lawyers
If you are facing an injury disability dispute, or are facing a denied insurance claim for disability, whether be for long-term disability or short-term disability, you are encourages to seek council from a disability lawyer. They will be able to represent you with an in-depth knowledge of insurance law, insurance companies, as well as the insurance appeal and claims process.

Disability Lawyer & Personal Injury Lawyer Cost
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. This means that until money is awarded to you in your case, you do not owe any money to your lawyer. Once your case is closed, a lawyer typically takes one-third of any amount that arises as a result of an award from your case. This practice is widespread in personal injury and disability law, but unfortunately some lawyers will “double dip” and request more fees to be paid on top the 1/3 they are awarded. This is not TSF Lawyer’s practice.

Once your case is closed, these fees will be reimbursed to your legal team from the awarded amount.
