How It Works

What happens after you request a case review

Request a Case Review

Answer a few quick questions about your injury. It takes under 2 minutes and is a request for review, not a legal determination.

Your Request May Be Shared

We share your request with the participating attorneys, law firms and partners listed on our Marketing Partners page. Whether one contacts you depends on your state and case type, and each attorney decides for themselves whether to accept a case.

Discuss Next Steps With an Attorney

If an attorney contacts you, ask about consultation charges, attorney fees and case expenses before agreeing to services. The attorney decides whether to accept the case, and you decide whether to hire them.

Injury Case Types We Accept Requests For

From car and truck accidents to slip and falls, workplace injuries and medical malpractice. Each guide explains what matters in that kind of claim and what happens after you submit a request.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to submit a request?+

Submitting a case review request to Ask Legal Matters is free and carries no obligation. If an attorney contacts you, confirm whether their consultation is free. Any later attorney fees and case expenses are governed by the agreement with the attorney you choose to hire.

Do I have to pay my attorney upfront?+

Usually not. Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee, which means their fee is a percentage of any settlement or verdict and nothing is owed as a fee if there is no recovery. Case expenses such as court filing fees, medical records and expert witnesses are separate from the fee, and attorneys handle them differently: some advance them and deduct them from a recovery, and some may ask you to cover them even if the case is lost. Terms vary by attorney and state, so read the written fee agreement before you sign.

How soon will someone contact me?+

An independent attorney or intake partner may contact you after submission. Timing and availability depend on your state and case type. Contact and case acceptance are not guaranteed.

What if I was partially at fault?+

Possibly. Most states use a comparative fault rule that reduces your recovery by your share of fault, and many bar recovery once your share reaches 50 percent or more. A few states still bar any recovery if you were at fault at all. An attorney licensed in your state can explain which rule applies to you.

What types of injury cases can you help with?+

We accept case review requests for car accidents, truck crashes, motorcycle accidents, slip and falls, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, wrongful death and pedestrian accidents, and share them with independent attorneys and legal services partners. Ask Legal Matters is not a law firm and does not handle cases itself. Availability for a given case type depends on your state.

Do you accept requests from all 50 states?+

Yes, you can submit a request from any U.S. state. Whether a participating attorney is available depends on your state and case type, so a submission is not a promise that an attorney will contact you or take your case.

Is Ask Legal Matters a law firm?+

No. Ask Legal Matters is a legal lead-generation service, not a law firm. We share your request with independent attorneys, law firms and legal services partners, who may contact you. We do not provide legal advice or representation, and submitting information does not create an attorney-client relationship. We may be paid by partners for the requests we share with them.
