Frequently Asked Questions

Varies between states. Discuss this with our lawyers today to learn how we can best assist you.

How do I know whether I have a case?

Whether you have a case usually depends on negligence. Negligence is a lack of care or caution. Would this accident have happened if someone had been more careful? Was someone unreasonable in their lack of care? If the answers to these questions are yes, you may have a case.

There are some types of cases where you don’t have to prove the defendant’s negligence. There are other factors that may influence your case, too. Our lawyers can explain the things that may influence your case and how we can make your case stronger.

How much time do I have to file a lawsuit?

In Alabama and Virginia, you have two years from the date of injury to file a lawsuit. In South Carolina and North Carolina, you have three years. There are exceptions for delayed discovery of injury, fraud and toxic exposure. You have just six months to start a claim against a municipality in Alabama and Virginia, and two years in South Carolina and North Carolina. The laws in other states are different. You should never wait to contact a lawyer. It might seem like two years is a long time, but you need time to investigate and build your case. Talking to the insurance company doesn’t protect your rights. You must file your case before time runs out.

How will my lawyer determine the value of my case?

Your lawyer determines the value of your case based on damages, the strength of the case and sources of compensation. Damages are the things you have lost because of the accident. Medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, disability and emotional anguish are common types of damages.

Generally, the more serious the accident, the more your case is worth. A long recovery with significant financial losses and personal suffering deserves more compensation than a minor accident.

What steps should I take immediately after an injury to protect my rights?

After an injury, make sure that you are in a safe place, away from additional danger. Summon emergency responders if necessary. Remember that you may be in shock, so your injuries may be more serious than you realize. If you are injured in a car accident, report the accident to law enforcement. If it occurs at a business or somewhere other than your home, let the property owner know.

Take photos. Save things related to the accident like clothing you were wearing. Get contact information for witnesses, if possible. Don’t admit fault or apologize.

Chantelle Hawkins

Attorney Charles Everage and his team at Hunter & Everage were instrumental in helping me navigate the complex process of applying for Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability benefits. From the initial consultation to the final hearing, they were professional, knowledgeable, and compassionate. They took the time to understand my unique situation and tailored their approach to meet my needs. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, I was awarded the benefits I so desperately needed. I highly recommend Attorney Everage and Hunter & Everage to anyone facing a similar challenge. They are true advocates for their clients.

Deborah Currence

Attorney Everage was the 2nd attorney who handled a social security appeal for my family member. The difference was night and day. He didn’t promise us the moon but managed our expectations responsibly. He showed legal proficiency before and in the hearing and he prepared my family member what to expect. Almost more importantly, he took his valuable time and showed respect, care and consideration for my family member. He didn’t treat him like a number. For that, we give him the highest rating.

Horace Hunter is a great Lawyer, and his Paralegal Susan is on point! My case had holes in it, but when he contacted the insurance company, they offered a decent settlement.

Mark A

It was a long road of fighting for disability benefits. After my first denial, I reached out to Hunter & Everage to handle the case. They have been awesome through the rest of the journey, keeping in contact with me the whole time and staying involved. My case went as far as having to see disability Judge. They set it up to do the hearing over the phone so I didn't have to travel anywhere. One week later I received the call that I was approved and my back pay was deposited in my account that same day. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help with their disability claim!! Thank you Hunter & Everage

Kimberly Steverson

Highly recommend. Went through three other firms, before calling. After seeing their TV commercial, just knew Hunter & Everage was the firm that would go the mile and fight for me. Don't wait... Call Hunter & Everage Now. They stood by me, even when I wanted to throw in the towel. Glad I didn't. Now can move on with my life. They will be there to answer your questions even afterward. Thank you so much.

Edward Heavener

Hunter and Everage did a wonderful job for me. Once they looked over my paperwork and decided I had a good case, they stayed in contact with me. They let me know what they needed from me and I got it to them. They are very polite and on point. They told me it would be several months before my case would go in front of the judge, however, as long as it took, feeling at a loss, was even ready to call it quits, they encouraged me to hang in there. So glad I did. It was so worth the wait. I won my case with their help.
