FAQ

Common Questions

How much does a consultation cost? +
Your initial consultation with Hargrove & Associates is completely free and carries no obligation. We review the facts of your case, give you an honest assessment of your options, and explain how we'd approach it — all at no charge.
How do contingency fees work? +
We work on a contingency basis for personal injury and wrongful death cases — meaning you pay nothing unless we win. Our fee is a percentage of the recovery, typically 33–40% depending on whether the case settles before or after filing. You never write us a check up front.
How long will my case take? +
It depends on complexity. Many personal injury cases settle in 6–18 months. Cases involving litigation, multiple defendants, or disputed liability may take 2–4 years. We'll give you a realistic timeline after reviewing your case and keep you informed at every stage.
What should I bring to my first meeting? +
Bring any documents you have: police reports, medical records, accident photos, insurance correspondence, employer communications, or witness contact information. Don't worry if you have nothing yet — we can help you gather what's needed. The most important thing is just getting in the door.
Do I have a case if I was partially at fault? +
Possibly, yes. Missouri follows a "pure comparative fault" rule — meaning you can recover damages even if you were partially responsible, with your recovery reduced proportionally. For example, if you're found 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages. Don't assume partial fault eliminates your claim.
