“John Burke helped my step grandma with a matter, and there is no question that he is the absolute best advocate around. As a client, we trusted him to guide us through a stressful process. As a fellow attorney in the Rapid City area, I respect him beyond measure and have personally seen him outperform even my high expectations again…”

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Rapid City personal injury representation cost?
Most personal injury lawyers offer a free, no-obligation consultation and work on a contingency fee — typically about one-third of a settlement reached before a lawsuit, rising to around 40% if the case goes to litigation. If there is no recovery, you generally owe no attorney fee. Confirm the exact fee with Thomas Braun Bernard & Burke, LLP.
Who pays my medical bills while my case is pending?
Depending on your state and coverage, bills may be handled by auto medical-payments coverage, your health insurance, or a medical lien paid from your eventual settlement. A lawyer can explain which options apply to your situation.
Will I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle without a trial. If the insurer will not offer fair compensation, a firm prepared to litigate can file suit — but many claims resolve through negotiation.
What types of cases do personal injury lawyers handle?
Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents, slip-and-fall and premises injuries, medical malpractice, workplace injuries, product liability, dog bites, and wrongful death. Call for a free consultation to confirm whether Thomas Braun Bernard & Burke, LLP handles a case like yours.
What should I do after an accident in Rapid City?
Check for injuries and call 911, move to safety, and let police document the scene. Photograph the vehicles, injuries, and conditions, and collect witness details. Avoid admitting fault, and see a doctor even if you feel fine. Then speak with a personal injury lawyer before giving a recorded statement or accepting an insurance settlement.
