Top Personal Injury Lawyer Questions to ask at your free consultation

Here, are the top Personal Injury Lawyer questions to ask potential attorneys.

Do you handle personal injury law?

Make sure your lawyer is experienced with your type of accident and injuries.

How many personal injury cases have you taken to trial?

You want a personal injury lawyer who can successfully take your case to trial.

Do you have time to work on my case?

You want a lawyer who can get to work on your case right away.

How long does it usually take to resolve a personal injury case?

Your lawyer should be able to give you an honest timeline for resolving your case.

How much is my case worth?

Your lawyer should be able to give you a reasonable settlement range.

Will you be handling my case?

Find out who your attorney will be.  Many firms advertise the name of the door, but hand off your case to an associate, or another firm.

What is your contingency fee?

Personal injury cases are taken on a contingency basis.  Typically, the attorney earns 33.33% of the settlement, or more if it goes to litigation.

Can you estimate the expenses for my case?

Expenses include obtaining medical records, court filing fees, depositions, and expert witnesses. Attorneys front the expenses and are reimbursed out of the settlement or verdict.

Will my case actually go to trial?

Whether or not your case will go to trial depends on a number of factors: liability, damages, and settlement. Every case should be prepared for trial to maximize settlement.

What is expected of me in this process?

First, you must treat your injuries. Second, you need to provide your attorney with all of the damages you are claiming. Finally, you and your lawyer need to decide if you are going to settle or take your case to court.  If you file a lawsuit, then you will need to participate in the litigation process.

If we disagree about the settlement offer, will you respect my wishes?

Make sure you trust your lawyer to give you the best advice. Is the attorney looking to make quick money, or is the attorney willing to litigate your case?
