10 Important Questions To Ask When Hiring A Personal Injury Lawyer by RapportNaija(m): 1:59pm On Jun 04, 2017
Safety should be our number one watchword, and it is often our major worry. If you got injured in an accident which isn’t because of your own fault, maybe you got involved in a car accident or work incidents, you may be entitled to get compensation for your injuries.

Before having a discussion for the responsible party of their insurance company, make sure to meet with a qualified personal injury attorney to talk in detail about your case. A qualified lawyer with experience can help you understand your options and can give you proper bits of advice on your chance of recovery. However, do not hire the first attorney you interview.

Choosing a reputable personal injury lawyer can be a very hard task and confusing experience, most especially if you have never dealt with lawyers or law firms before. Most lawyers will say they have and can handle personal injury cases, but you should know that it requires more than just “one call” to handle a severe personal injury claim. If you are looking for how to choose a personal injury lawyer, make sure to select a qualified one or a law firm with a noteworthy track record in handling personal injury cases. Below are 10 important questions you should ask before hiring a personal injury lawyer.

Questions to ask when interviewing a personal injury attorney:

1. First, ask- what areas of law do you specialise in?

2. Have you handled injury cases like mine before? If so, how many have you handled?

3. How many personal injury cases have you taken to trial successfully? What were the results?

4. How long will it take to resolve an injury case like mine?

5. How often will you communicate with me about my case? Will I get to talk directly with you if need be? (Note: If the lawyer or law firm sends “a paralegal or an investigator” to your initial consultation instead of the attorney that should really meet with you in person, quickly look for another attorney or law firm)

6. How many cases are you presently handling? Will you have enough time to handle my case?

7. If I am dissatisfied with the insurance company’s offer to settle my case, will you be the actual attorney that will file a lawsuit on my behalf and take the case to trial?

8. Can I get references or reviews from some of your past clients?

9. Have you ever been suspended from the practice of law? If so, why?

10. What is your contingency fee?

Good luck to finding a reputable personal injury lawyer.

These ten questions are really important, and as I am looking to hire a personal injury lawyer, these questions will help me out. I hope the tacoma wa personal injury attorney can help me with this, as well. I think that would be best for me.
