What kinds of cases will we accept?

In addition to negligence cases, we will represent people who have suffered workplace injuries, recreational accidents, or automobile, trucking, or railroad accidents. We will take cases involving defective products, including injury or loss caused by work tools, toys, medical equipment, prostheses, drugs, and household products.

We also represent people injured by toxic materials and poisons, employment discrimination, and bad faith practices by insurance companies, businesses, and service providers.

Will I owe anything if I lose?

No. If your personal injury case is unsuccessful, you will not be responsible for any of the costs incurred.

How does Waddell & Magan get paid?

Our contingent fee is based on a percentage of the total amount of benefits we recover from the defendant or insurance company on your behalf.

How long will it take to resolve my case?

The length of a case varies. All lawsuits revolve around the trial date set by the court. And that is up to the court administrators and the workload the court is handling. As for settlement, that too is usually tied to the trial date. Not a comforting answer, but the accurate one.

What is mediation?

A mediation is a settlement conference which takes place prior to a case proceeding to trial. Each side appears with their lawyer and appears before a person known as a mediator. A mediator is often a retired judge or a lawyer practicing in the community. Both sides present their cases to the mediator. All information contained in the mediation conference is confidential and cannot be used. If the parties are unable to settle the case during the mediation, then the case proceeds to trial.
