Questions to Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer
  • Personal Injury is a very serious matter.
    Personal injury cases need expert legal advice
    and in the majority of the cases. If you have
    been injured in an automobile accident, make sure
    your legal team who is an expert motorcycle
    accident attorney or an auto accident lawyer.
  • When you have been involved in a personal injury
    or have faced multiple injuries, you need an
    experienced personal injury attorney or legal
    representative in order to help you get the right
    compensation and justice you deserve.
  • Personal injuries can happen to anyone due to a
    wide range of reasons. These types of cases and
    lawsuits can be categorized into the following-
  • Auto Accident
  • Injuries due to Negligence
  • Burn Injury
  • Motorcycle Accident
  • Criminal Negligence
  • Defective Product Liability
  • Aircraft Injury
  • Criminal Malpractice
  • Industrial Accident
  • Animal Attacks or Bites
  • Other Personal Injuries
  • Personal injury means a form of injury which
    involves harm to the body or mind. Choosing the
    right attorney is crucial to right and
    wrongdoings in these cases.

  • They have in-depth knowledge in such type of
    cases and can be very helpful in dealing with
    these cases. You can ask how many cases they have
    won and how much is their total settlement value
    till date with cases like a motorcycle accident,
    burn injury or auto accident or to get a better
    idea of how much value they provide you with your
    case.
  • How much is this going to cost you?
  • One of the most important questions you need to
    ask your personal injury attorney is how much
    fees they are going to charge as personal
    injuries can happen due to negligence or neglect.
  • Fees and costs can vary on case to case basis.
    Personal injury attorneys represent their clients
    on a contingency fee basis.
  • The fees which are payable to the attorney
    usually are a percentage of the potential total
    settlement value. Contingency fees are contingent
    on the attorney winning the case and based on a
    fixed percent on the total value of the
    settlement value. The agreement should clearly
    state the fixed percentage which will be the
    fees charged by the lawyer(s) working on your
    case.
  • You need to make sure that the personal injury
    attorney who is going to be the legal
    representative in your case has a good experience
    on the subject matter. Be careful of hiring
    inexperienced lawyers who are not familiar with
    personal injuries due to factors like a burn
    injury, motorcycle accidents, and auto accidents.
  • Is the state bar council ever taken disciplinary
    action against you or your firm?
  • This is yet another important question for
    deciding whether the lawyer is worth it. You
    should ask and get straight answers on whether
    the attorney or firm has/have ever faced
    disciplinary or legal proceedings.
  • This needs to be assessed properly and can give
    you a pretty good idea of their past history. It
    can be an anchoring factor to help you decide
    whether you want to go with them or not.
  • How much is your case worth?

  • If you don't disclose all the necessary facts and
    information to the lawyer, it can significantly
    harm your case in the future as the legal
    proceedings begin. Remember Never hide anything
    from your personal injury attorney!
  • Will you have the right people for your case?
  • Your attorney or law firm needs to make time and
    significant efforts to bring it home. If they
    take up your case and leave it hanging then you
    will face a tough time.
  • Ensure that your legal representatives have
    evaluated on exactly what they will do and need
    to do in order to win the case for you.
    Remember Your personal injury attorney needs
    concrete facts, substantial facts and
    establishing evidence for getting a favorable
    outcome for your personal injury case no matter
    what the case type may be.
  • In case of a multiple automobile accident, call
    your auto accident lawyer or motorcycle accident
    attorney immediately to ensure that you don't
    face any losses due to swift legal action taken
    against you irrespective, when you being right.
  • Who will be in charge of your case?
  • It is very important that you ask who will be the
    one who handle your case in court. It will be
    crucial that you establish a good rapport and
    declare all the information, facts and figures he
    or she needs to know and take into account
    before the case has started.
  • Don't be afraid to ask and speak the truth to
    your personal injury attorney. There is something
    called client-attorney privilege which binds
    your lawyer not to discuss or disclose any and
    all the information which is relevant and
    related to the case.
  • If you give your 100 correct and truthful
    information to your auto accident lawyer, it will
    be very useful and helpful for him/her to win
    the case and get you the right compensation you
    deserve.
  • How much participation required by you?

8. How long is this going to take? This is one
of the deciding factors for your case. If the
case go on for a long period of time, it is
better to go with a firm which has a full-fledged
team of legal representatives who can get the
job done no matter how long it takes for the
win. What matters the most is getting the
victory in the case and the best possible outcome
in your favor. If you go ahead with a small
legal team, it will be very difficult as they
wouldn't have deep pockets and resources at
their disposal for working on your case with full
dedication and responsibility. It is always
best to have resources at one's disposal for
backup in case things go south! It is not
necessary that the legal representative who
represents you in your case is the one and the
only person who is in charge of the case. There
may be several people who may step in if the
circumstances and situations suggest so. The
only thing which matters is that you and your
personal injury attorney do what it takes to
right a wrong. The case value may not be of
significant value in terms of money, but what is
of significant value is the satisfaction of
getting the victory and being triumphant. Client-
attorney privilege is great but it only come into
play if there's full transparency between you
and your attorney and your lawyer understand what
the case is all about and why this is important
for you. So, these are some of the questions
which you can ask your attorney before you
finally decide to proceed further with signing a
legal contract for your case. Personal injury is
something which should not be taken lightly, even
if the injury extent or damages is not severe or
traumatic. So, always choose the best lawyer for
your case because your lawyer or legal
representatives will be the deciding factor for
getting justice. Follow us on social media to
