Hiring a personal injury attorney is crucial when obtaining compensation for injury-related losses. You or a loved one may be dealing with medical bills, lost wages, and emotional anguish, so you need an attorney who has your best interests at heart.
Since numerous law firms offer personal injury services, you may need to shop around to find the best fit. More importantly, you should consult with potential candidates before committing to hire them to represent you. During consultations, always ask specific questions about your case and the lawyer’s services to find the right fit.
Never wait to begin the process of hiring a trusted Reno personal injury attorney today. Below are some questions to consider asking.
You can increase your chances of a positive outcome by hiring an attorney who has worked on a similar personal injury case in the past. For instance, a truck accident case will be quite different from a wrongful death claim due to medical malpractice. Ask if the lawyer has experience with your type of accident and injury.
Most personal injury attorneys charge a contingency-based fee, which is a percentage of the settlement award. The fee only applies when an attorney wins the case, which means you’ll pay nothing if you lose the case. You’ll want to make the attorney charge a reasonable fee that doesn’t take a substantial amount from your settlement.
Usually, it is difficult to estimate the value of a personal injury case without a close evaluation of your losses. Every case is unique, and so is its settlement value. However, as an attorney dives into the details of your case, they can give you a range of the estimated settlement value. They should be able to provide an idea of what you might expect based on an initial review of your injuries and losses.
While most cases settle directly with insurance companies, some require litigation. Always ensure your personal injury attorney is willing to go to court if necessary to obtain a fair outcome for you. Ask about their experience in court and whether they settle all of their cases or are open to litigation.
While seeking representation, look for an attorney with a positive reputation in your market. While many attorneys have client testimonials publicly posted on their website, some don’t, so it helps to inquire about client testimonials.
Look for indicators of impressive service, including:
If you’ve sustained injuries in a crash or another accident, you deserve representation from a highly experienced attorney who’ll aggressively fight for your rights. Consider engaging an attorney from Kidwell & Gallager Injury Lawyers with a proven track record of obtaining fair settlement amounts for injured accident victims.
