Questions You Should Ask Your Personal Injury Lawyer
If you have been seriously injured, choosing a lawyer is an important decision. You may be dealing with that lawyer for several years.
Before you hire someone, there are a few questions I think you should ask.
How long have you been practicing personal injury law?
There is no substitute for experience. Personal injury cases can involve complicated medical evidence, expert witnesses, future income loss and future care claims. You want someone who has dealt with these issues before.
How many jury trials have you done?
This is a question that doesn't get asked often enough. There is a big difference between settling personal injury cases and actually taking them to trial.
When was the last time you did a jury trial?
It is also worth asking when your lawyer last tried a case. Having done trials 20 years ago is different from regularly appearing in court today.
Will you actually be handling my file?
This is an important one. Sometimes you meet with a senior lawyer when you first come into a firm, but most of the work is then done by a junior lawyer.
Ask who is actually going to be responsible for your case.
If I have a question, will I be able to speak to you?
Law clerks and assistants are an important part of any law office, but you should know whether you will have access to the lawyer who is handling your case when you need to speak to them.
Are you prepared to take my case to trial?
Most cases settle, and they should settle if a fair settlement can be reached. But sometimes they don't.
The insurance companies know which lawyers are prepared to go to court. and tend to offer higher settlements when they are involved. If your lawyer only settles cases and doesn’t go to court, expect less than you deserve.
What are you going to charge me?
Make sure you understand the contingency fee agreement before you sign it. Ask what percentage the lawyer will receive, how expenses are dealt with, and what happens if the case is unsuccessful.
There is nothing wrong with asking a lawyer these questions. In fact, I think you should.
You are hiring the lawyer. You are entitled to know who you are hiring and whether that person has the experience to handle your case.
