Personal Injury Attorney
7 Questions You Should Ask When Hiring a Personal Injury Lawyer
Question #1: Do you offer a free consultation?
Most personal injury lawyers provide no-cost consultations or case reviews. That way they can gather details about your situation and you can receive some preliminary guidance. If a prospective attorney doesn't offer you an initial visit for free, continue your search elsewhere.
Question #2: How much experience do you have handling claims similar to mine?
You're likely to get a more favorable result if your lawyer handles similar cases on a regular basis. An attorney's willingness to discuss this topic is a strong sign of character.
Question #3: How do you guarantee your legal services?
Personal injury lawyers can't guarantee the outcome of a case. But a reputable attorney will have no problem backing up their legal services with a promise to live up to your expectations.
Question #4: What are your fees and how are they calculated?
Make sure you understand your payment responsibilities before you hire your lawyer. Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingent-fee basis, meaning your fee is based on a percentage of the recovery.
Question #5: Who will be working on my case?
Find out who will be working on your case. Well-respected lawyers are typically well respected because they have a dynamic support staff. Ask to meet the staff.
Question #6: How often are you available for questions?
The times you have questions or concerns won't be limited to business hours. Make sure you can contact your attorney directly (i.e., get a cell phone number) and that your inquiries get addressed quickly.
Question #7: How often will you provide updates on my case?
Lawyers get busy. But that doesn't mean you should have to wait to hear what's going on with your case.
