Whether you slipped and fell in a grocery store or were hit by a car, you need a law firm that will protect your interests and aggressively pursue your case against the responsible party. Choosing the right attorney can mean the difference between a successful result and a disappointing one. Most people who are injured have little to no experience in hiring a lawyer. We’re here to help.
Getting Started
Beware of lawyer solicitations. Especially in high-profile cases, many lawyers diligently scour court filings, police accident reports and other public information in an effort to identify potential clients. Perhaps you’ve even received a solicitation letter from such a firm already. Take their promises with a grain of salt. These lawyers can’t possibly know the exact details of your case and are trying a shot in the dark that you will call them.
For the most part, these are fairly generic or form letters that are designed to lure potential clients into calling. It’s not exactly unethical or illegal, but it definitely is a questionable practice. Any lawyer you settle on should be as the result of research and reputation.
A Lawsuit Isn’t Always Necessary
Most personal injury lawsuits – about 95 percent of them in fact – are settled and never go to trial. You could even reach a settlement without filing a lawsuit. An experienced personal injury law firm will do its due diligence in collecting enough medical and factual information to persuade the defendant or the associated insurance company to settle without having to file a suit. This saves everyone time, money and hassle.
Interview Several Firms
While most people wouldn’t dream of buying a new car or even a major appliance without researching their options first, a surprising number of people retain the first personal injury firm they call. Given the significance of this decision, it only makes sense to consult with at least a few different firms before coming to a decision.
Personal Injury Cases Take Time
As an injury victim, you naturally want to know how much your case is worth and how long it will take. However, any lawyer that tries to give you a guarantee, a firm number or a resolute timeline either isn’t very good or is lying to get your business. You need to work with a lawyer who can project a realistic picture when discussing the future of your case. An experienced personal injury lawyer can give you some general information based on prior cases he or she has handled; however, an irresponsible lawyer will promise the moon in the hopes you’ll retain him or her.
