What to Ask a Potential Personal Injury Attorney
If you need a personal injury lawyer, then you know the search for one can be exhausting. You want to ensure that you are getting the right lawyer to handle your needs, as it has been seen that those who have legal representation often receive 3.5 times higher settlements than those who go into this alone. There are so many personal injury firms on the market that it can seem impossible to find the one that best fits you. In order to help make the right decision, we have provided a list of questions that you are going to want to ask those who you are interested in.
1. When can I speak to the lawyer who will be handling my case? Several firms let lower interns handle the first meeting, but you are going to want to find out if and when do you get to talk to someone who is in charge of your case. If you never get to see the person or never get an answer, chances are the lawyer is not going to be a hands-on lawyer on your case. 2. What is your experience in the field of personal injury? You need to determine if they have ever handled cases that are similar to yours. Look into any type of experiences that they have had that could benefit you in any way. 3. Do you handle cases that have severe injuries? If so, are you comfortable with this? These types of cases are usually longer and more complex, thus you want to ensure that the lawyer you choose can handle this. 4. Who else will be working on the case? You want to hear that the lawyer has a good team behind them in order to help them, as this means more dedication to your case. 5. How often do you go to trial with your cases? Ordinarily, cases are settled, but you want someone who is not afraid to go to trial if they believe a better settlement is deserved. 6. Do you handle case if they go to court? Several firms often hand off to other firms they work with when a case goes to court. You have to decide if this is something that you are comfortable with. 7. How much will you charge me for your services? In the realm of personal injury, it is common not to require a payment, until you receive your settlement. But, you need to know just how much of a settlement that the lawyer will take. If you are paying more than 33% of your settlement to your lawyer, chances are you are paying too much. 8. How fast is your turnaround time on answering my questions? If you have a question, you want this answered as soon as possible. Therefore, ask the lawyer how long they will take to respond to your needs.
