What questions to ask when choosing a lawyer
Many Oklahoma City personal injury attorneys might seem the same if you have been injured in an accident. But it’s important to take into account many important factors when selecting a lawyer to represent you. Some of the questions you might want to ask a prospective attorney include:
- ‘How much experience do you have?’ – Experience matters when it comes to choosing someone to represent you. You would do the same if you were hiring someone to fix your car or operate on you. Why should it be any different when it comes to hiring someone to handle your important legal matter? Your lawyer should know the law and know what to do based on extensive experience – in the courtroom and at the negotiating table with insurance companies.
- ‘Who will be handling my case?’ – Some law firms hand off the bulk of the work on most cases to inexperienced attorneys or paralegals. Ask the attorney you’re meeting with if they will be personally representing you. If not, get a straight answer from them about who exactly will be investigating your accident and building the strongest possible legal case. Also, ask them if they’re prepared to take your case to court if necessary.
- ‘How well do you know the area?’ – Some law firms have offices throughout the country. As a result, their lawyers might not know anything about the area or how the legal system works here. You’re not hiring a lawyer to learn about your community on the job. You should have an attorney who knows Oklahoma City (and its legal system) and who you can talk with in person anytime to find out the status of your case.
- ‘What kind of cases do you normally handle?’ – Ask the lawyer if they have handled cases like yours in the past. This is especially important if you have been hurt in a serious accident caused by another driver. You want an attorney who knows what to expect and what to do to build the strongest possible case. It’s also important to have a lawyer who knows how to prepare cases like yours for trial if necessary.
- ‘How much do you charge?’ – Your money matters. If you have been hurt in an accident, you should not have to pay a fortune for top-notch legal representation. That’s why it’s important to ask a lawyer how much they charge for their services. Many law firms that handle cases for injury victims do so on a contingency fee basis. That means you only pay a percentage if you obtain financial compensation in the form of a settlement or verdict.
Information is power. The more you know, the smarter your decisions. Make sure you take the time to pick the right lawyer for you. Make sure you get the answers you deserve.
How much is my claim worth?
Expenses can add up fast when it comes to accidents. If someone else caused your injury, you should receive financial compensation for all your expenses. This includes any expenses immediately after you sustain your injury, including emergency medical care, overnight hospital bills, surgical procedures and replacement income during your recovery.
In addition, your settlement claim or verdict should also include all future expenses. That’s because you often only have one opportunity to obtain compensation for your injury. Once you accept an offer, you often cannot ask for more money in the future. That’s why it’s critical that you know exactly how much your claim is worth.
An experienced attorney can help calculate the estimated worth of your claim. They know how to accurately estimate past, current and future expenses related to your injury. They can also work with you to demand maximum financial compensation.
