¿Sabe cómo elegir al mejor abogado de lesiones personales para su caso?
En algún momento de nuestras vidas, existe una probabilidad razonable de que nos veamos implicados en un accidente de coche de algún tipo.
Car accidents happen all of the time. There is a trio of top causes that are common in conjunction with auto accidents in the United States, distracted driving, speeding, and drunk driving. It can be devastating to be involved in an auto accident. The only thing you know for sure is that you’ve been injured. You also know that you need to find a personal injury attorney that can take your case. How do you find the right attorney? Where should you even start searching for attorneys? That task itself can be daunting since you want to be positive the local attorney you hire is the absolute best for your case.
There Are Ways to Search, Vet, and Hire Outstanding Lawyers
The first thing you can do to find an excellent personal injury attorney is to ask people you know. If you have a family member or good friend who suffered from a personal injury and hired a personal injury law firm to handle their case, ask them about their experience. Word of mouth is one of the best ways to learn about personal injury law firms. It’s actually a preferred method that helps you find a personal injury attorney who has already represented someone you know and helped them get the most satisfaction out of their case.
Discuss Any Fees Before Signing Anything
Don’t be afraid to ask about fees. You need to know everything a personal injury attorney can do for you and what is expected in return. Transparency is 100% vital when it comes to any financial transaction. Ask for a fee agreement in writing. While most personal injury attorneys work on the basis of contingency, you need to understand what this means when you reach a settlement or judgment. Typically, attorneys get a third of a judgment or settlement and tack on office expenses. Just make sure that you clarify what it means. Also, make sure you understand their precise definition of ‘no fees if there is no recovery’.
Pay Attention to Gut Feelings
You can feel when someone cares about you. Use that same gut feeling when choosing a personal injury attorney. Listen to that inner voice since some lawyers may only care about case value instead of making decisions that benefit you as well as your recovery. Trustworthy attorneys are going to be upfront, honest, and real about the weaker aspects of your case. If you speak with an attorney that only plays up the strengths of your case, consider that they may not be the one for you. If things do not feel right, it’s time to look for a different attorney without wasting any more time.
Who Exactly Will Be Handling Your Case?
Just because you spoke with an attorney and have hired them, does not mean that they may not delegate your case to another team member within the law firm. Be sure to ask the lawyer that you are going to speak with if they will personally handle your case. The concern is that a lawyer that can’t take a few minutes out of their day to talk to you personally isn’t going to have enough time or attention to devote to your case. If you find yourself speaking with an intake person, secretary, or paralegal instead of the lawyer you scheduled a consultation with, ask questions and find out exactly who will be handling your case. If you’re not comfortable with the answer, find an attorney that is ready to give you their time and attention.
Hire a Trusted Legal Partner
Nothing feels better than having a trusted legal partner by your side when dealing with the stressful ins and outs of a personal injury case. It takes a compassionate and knowledgeable lawyer to help you face legal issues that are stressful. The right personal injury attorney makes a big difference between receiving the compensation you rightly deserve or getting the runaround.
