Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding your legal rights shouldn’t be confusing. Here’s what clients like you ask us most—answered simply and directly.

Do I have to pay upfront to hire Goharzad Law?
No. We work on a contingency fee basis — meaning you don’t pay us unless we win your case.
At our firm, we handle a wide range of personal injury and employment law cases. Our experienced team represents clients in automobile and trucking accidents, product liability claims, wrongful death cases, and complex employment law matters. We are dedicated to protecting the rights of individuals and families, ensuring they receive the justice and compensation they deserve.
You typically have around two years to file a personal injury lawsuit — but this can vary. It’s best to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve evidence and avoid missing your deadline.

OF COURSE. At our firm, we believe every client deserves personal attention and clear communication FROM THE ATTORNEY THEY HIRED. When you contact us, you’ll have the opportunity to speak directly with an experienced attorney who will review your case, answer your questions, and guide you through your legal options. Our team is committed to keeping you informed every step of the way — from your initial consultation to the resolution of your case.

If the insurance company has already made you an offer, you should speak with an attorney before accepting it.
Insurance companies often make early settlement offers to close cases quickly — usually for far less than the full value of your claim. Once you accept their offer, you typically waive your right to pursue additional compensation, even if your injuries turn out to be more serious later.

An experienced attorney can review the offer, evaluate your medical records and damages, and negotiate for a fair settlement that truly reflects your losses — including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
