August 27, 2021Top 11 Causes of Boating Accidents: What to Do If You’re Injured
July 19, 2022It is important to note that not every attorney that you see on television or online is a good law firm or a personal injury lawyer. Many are those that have been “compensated” and will attempt to trick you into signing something without really knowing the laws and guidelines, or not giving you the information and details of your case that you deserve.
If you are looking at a new attorney, there are some things you need to look at, and do, when choosing a law firm for representation. You should look at the lawyer’s licensing, the number of years’ experience the attorney has, the type of cases that they have handled, and how the attorney has handled cases, if at all, and make a personal selection.
Experience of Personal Injury Attorneys
You need to make a personal decision on who you wish to represent you, you need to make sure your decision is based upon your experience and research and not based upon some marketing materials. Some lawyers may even have super lawyer status but won’t have your best interest in mind. A bad attorney may try and drag your case on for years until you are in a bind, and then lowball your settlement to get you to sign and get them paid so be aware of the tricks and traps.
Do not just base your trust or future on a website or TV commercials you need to speak with an experience lawyer, you need to know it all before you hire someone. You should make sure you ask the right questions and get verifiable answers that relate you your personal circumstance.
There are also questions you need to ask of the attorney when considering them for your case. Ask them questions to see if they are someone that will work with you and your family and have your needs at heart. Ask them if they have any experience in cases that might result in any kind of compensation for you. Ask them if they have any case victories, and do not rely exclusively on the number of wins they have or the number of years experience they have. If they are not willing to answer your questions honestly, you should seek another attorney.
Always ask the type of personal injury cases that they have handled. Do not get caught up in statistics of what are the most successful or less successful personal injury cases. Any person who has been involved in an accident resulting in injury can make a claim. They can make a claim not only for the injury but also for any pain and suffering. A person who has been injured at work can make a work accident claim and can get suitable compensation that will help them pay for the medical treatment and also the loss of income and even future loss of income if they get a disability as a result.
The Insurance Companies
It is important to make sure that you share all the details of the accident with your attorney before you talk to anyone else. The insurance companies be it auto or from your companies insurance will try to get you to make statements that will absolve them of the liability that they may be responsible for, so it is important to speak with your attorney first before having any conversations with them. Your attorney will be able to protect you and what you are rightfully entitled to receive.
