Meeting an accident lawyer for the first time? Your initial consultation is a time for you to ask questions about the injury you suffered in an accident and to find out if the law firm is a good fit for you. You should ask any questions you have on your mind, but the top 10 questions to ask a car accident lawyer are:
- Do you think I have an accident case?
- Approximately how much money do you think my case is worth?
- How long have you been handling auto accident cases and are they a central practice area at your law firm?
- How often do you take these types of cases to trial?
- If I’m unsatisfied with an insurance company settlement offer, are you able to file a lawsuit and bring my case to trial?
- Will I be able to speak to you if I have a concern or question at any point during my case?
- Will you be handling my case or someone else at your law firm?
- How long do you expect it will take to resolve my case?
- What fees will I be charged and when?
- Do you have past verdicts and settlements you can tell me about?
Your accident lawyer should be personally committed to advocating for maximum compensation on your behalf. The consultation is a great time to learn about the attorney and to decide if he or she is the right attorney for you.
