Selecting the right personal injury lawyer sounds as easy as opening the phone book and looking for the biggest advertisement. However, there is much more to consider before choosing who will help you through your case. We recommend asking a few questions before selecting a lawyer. First, you need to know that your lawyer has the experience to handle the type of accident and injuries you have suffered. There is no substitute for experience and if your lawyer has handled similar cases in the past they have a much greater chance of succeeding with your case. Contact us for an evaluation.
Next, you need a lawyer who will be aggressive in pursuing your case. Many times insurance companies use aggressive tactics or hire aggressive claims adjusters or lawyers to try to limit the amount they pay out to injured people. It may be necessary to take your case all the way to court before a judge or jury before the insurance company will offer to pay your damages. Having a lawyer who will stand up for your rights against the big insurance companies will help your case dramatically.
Even if your lawyer has the experience and aggressiveness to pursue your case against the big insurance companies, they will be of little help unless they also have the resources to fight for your case. Getting you the treatment and recovery you are entitled to often means paying doctors in advance of your recovery or making agreements to pay them once you have recovered damages. Also, if it is necessary to prepare your case for trial, your lawyer may have to pay for experts to testify on your behalf. All of these steps are very expensive and require the resources of an attorney who has fought the big insurance companies before.
Finally, you should select a lawyer who will pay adequate attention to your case and who has similar goals for where you want your case to go. Once your lawyer takes your case they will undertake an effort to gather as much information as possible about your losses, the accident itself and the other party. While they will not have constant contact with you about your case you should expect updates on a regular basis or have the opportunity to speak with someone in their office to learn the status of your case. From the time you retain your attorney, you need to discuss your goals in pursuing your case, whether it be to get immediate medical treatment or recover damages or protect yourself for future costs. It is important to let your lawyer know what you expect and to make sure they have the same goals as you for your case.
