Before your initial consultation with a law firm concerning a personal injury accident, you should make a list of questions to ask the attorney to make sure your attorney is fully qualified to handle your individual case.
The attorney you select can make a substantial difference in the eventual outcome of your case.
Attorneys are normally reluctant to take over a case from an attorney who has already initiated a case in court because it is frequently very difficult to fix mistakes other attorneys have made after a case has been filed in court. A case can quickly become tainted by an inexperienced lawyer who makes decisions that can be difficult to undo at a later date. It is critical to hire the right attorney for your particular case.
The following is a list of questions for your lawyer:
- What percentage of your law practice is focused on personal injury cases?
- How many personal injury cases have you taken to trial and what were the results?
- Do other law firms refer personal injury cases to you?
- How much do you think my case is worth?
- How long do you expect it will take to resolve my case?
- Do cases like my case normally settle out of court?
- Do you foresee any issues or difficulties with my case?
- Will you be the attorney that is actually handling my case?
- Will you be referring my case to a different law firm?
- Will other attorneys from your office be working on my case?
- How often will I receive updates about my case?
- Will I be able to speak directly with the attorney working on my case if I have questions?
- Do you have the necessary time to devote to my case?
- Do you have the necessary staffing and financial resources to take on my case?
- Has your license ever been suspended or revoked? If so, why?
- What is your reputation in the legal community?
- What is your fee arrangement?
