Frequently Asked Questions About Knowles Law Firm
What types of cases does Knowles Law Firm handle? Do you specialize in any practice areas?
At Knowles Law Firm, we handle a wide range of personal injury cases, focusing on helping individuals who have been injured due to the negligence of others. Our practice areas include car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, traumatic brain injuries, wrongful death, and more.
While we are equipped to manage various types of Omaha personal injury claims, our extensive experience in motor vehicle accidents and wrongful death cases allows us to provide particularly focused and effective representation in these areas. We are dedicated to securing the best possible outcomes for our clients, no matter the complexity of their case.
What should I expect during my initial consultation?
During your initial consultation, we will ask detailed questions about your accident, injuries, and health history. We will also explain the relevant laws, discuss how we can help, and go over the insurance process. This meeting is designed to address your concerns and outline the next steps if you decide to hire us.
How does your law firm assess the strength of a personal injury case before taking it on?
There are two components to every case: liability and damages. We must be able to prove by the greater weight of the evidence that another party is liable (negligent) and caused you damage. If we cannot meet our burden of proof on either liability or damages, we cannot move forward with a case.
To assess the strength of the liability component, we often rely on police reports and independent witness statements. To assess the strength of the damages component, we look at both economic factors (medical bills and lost wages) and non-economic factors (pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment, inconvenience).
We rely heavily on our client’s to describe how the accident has affected their life. Beginning at our very first contact with a client, we take detailed notes about how the accident and injuries have affected their life. We talk to family members, friends, and co-workers to learn how our client has changed as a result of the accident.
What sets Knowles Law Firm apart from other law firms?
What truly distinguishes us from other firms is our deep-rooted family connection. Founded nearly six decades ago by James Knowles, Sr., Knowles Law Firm is a family-run practice where each attorney is a member of the Knowles family. This personal connection to the firm’s legacy drives our commitment to excellence. Our success depends on delivering exceptional results, which we achieve through hard work, honesty, and direct communication with our clients.
At our firm, your attorney will be directly available to you, answering calls personally and responding promptly. We prioritize taking immediate action on your case, ensuring there are no unnecessary delays. If there are challenges or setbacks, we communicate them openly and transparently. We make it easy for clients to stay connected by providing direct access to their attorney’s cell phone and email. Exceptional client service is at the heart of what we do.
How are legal fees structured at Knowles Law Firm?
At Knowles Law Firm, we operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you won’t pay any fees unless we secure a settlement or win at trial. Our standard fee is one-third of the final settlement or jury award. However, some cases may require a customized fee arrangement based on the specifics of the situation. We are committed to working with you to find a fee structure that suits your case.
You won’t have to worry about any upfront costs when you hire Knowles Law Firm. We handle all initial expenses so you can focus on your recovery.
What times are you available for consultations, and where are you located?
We are located at 11404 West Dodge Road, Suite 450, Omaha, NE 68154. Our normal business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. However, we are eager to serve you and all of our attorneys are happy to accommodate weekend or evening appointments that fit your schedule.
How long does it typically take to resolve a case?
We are dedicated to moving cases forward efficiently, working tirelessly—even on weekends—to ensure a fair and timely resolution. Whether through negotiation or trial, we aim to resolve your case as swiftly as possible. We believe in maintaining momentum, as letting a case stagnate can send the wrong signal to the insurance company. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we’re fully prepared to take your case to court.
Will I work with the same attorney throughout my case?
Yes. The attorney you meet with during your initial consultation will be the attorney that handles your case from the beginning to the end.
