Question 1

What happens during a free case review?

Accepted Answer

You describe what happened, your injuries, and where the incident occurred. Top Tier Legal, LLC evaluates whether you may be connected with an independent attorney or firm that handles cases like yours. There is no fee for this intake step, and Top Tier Legal is not your lawyer.

Question 2

How long do I have to file a claim?

Accepted Answer

Statutes of limitations vary by state and claim type. Some windows are as short as one year. Because deadlines are fact-specific, you should not delay speaking with a qualified attorney about your situation.

Question 3

How are attorney fees typically structured?

Accepted Answer

Many personal injury firms work on contingency—you pay no upfront legal fees, and fees are taken from any recovery per your agreement with the firm. Top Tier Legal does not charge you for referrals.

Question 4

Do I have to go to court?

Accepted Answer

Many injury claims settle before trial, but some require filing a lawsuit. The attorney you work with can explain the likely path for your case.

Question 5

What must I prove in a slip and fall case?

Accepted Answer

Generally, you must show the property owner or occupier knew or should have known of a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn visitors. Standards differ by state and by whether you were an invitee, licensee, or trespasser.
