Hiring Your Personal Injury Attorney - 6 Questions

Personal Injury Law can be a challenging arena for individuals to face on their own. Being surrounded by medical bills, lost wages due to an inability to work, demands from your insurance company, and the pain of an injury can overwhelm even the best of us very quickly.

 How you do you find the right personal injury lawyer for your case? Those of us at Phillips, McElyea, Carpenter, & Welch, P.C. are here to help make your search easier with these top six questions to ask your prospective personal injury attorney.

1. What types of personal injury cases have you tried before?
Personal injury cases come in countless shapes sizes, so it is important to find a lawyer with experience relevant to your specific case.

 2. Who will be directly involved in handling my case?
Ask to meet everyone who will be directly involved with your case. If you are taking the time to interview different lawyers, you want to be sure you find the team you trust.

 3. How much will I get to participate in my case?
Different lawyers have different policies on how directly involved their clients can be. If you feel strongly about your case and wish to be as closely involved as possible, make sure your lawyer will make it possible.
4. How do you structure your fees?
Before signing any contracts, make sure you have a thorough understanding of what you will be expected to pay. Almost all personal injury lawyers charge a contingency fee, which means they will be paid a certain percentage of the monetary compensation your case yields.

 5. Do you have enough time to work on my case right now?
Make sure your prospective lawyer has enough room in his/her calendar to handle your case immediately. You consider your case a top priority, and so should your lawyer.

 6. What can you offer me that other lawyers can't?
Remember, if you're meeting with a prospective attorney, you are the one who is hiring. Don't be afraid to cut to the chase and ask why you should hire them. A proficient lawyer won't have any trouble answering this question.
