Important Questions To Ask
A Car Accident Lawyer

Although it is important to get an experienced lawyer started on your case soon, you should take time to ask the right questions during an initial consultation.

• How many years of experience do you possess? When deciding on an attorney it's important to first verify his or her experience and field of specialization. In the same way not all doctors specialize in all fields of medicine, not all personal injury lawyers are qualified for all types of cases. Ask if the lawyer has handled a similar type of injury casein the past and what the outcome was. When dealing with such a delicate case that encompasses so many emotions and pain, you'll need someone who is experienced and has been there.
• What is the biggest case you have ever handled and what was the outcome? Personal injury lawyers who have handled large, multi-million dollar cases are more likely to have fought in more difficult cases. If you have a very large case, you want to make sure that your case isn't the largest case your attorney has ever handled.
• Will I be working with you directly? The last thing you want is to be shuffled through a legal factory without knowing with whom you are really dealing and whom to approach when you have a question. Stay away from a law office that will shuffle you through to an assembly line process because personal injury cases often deal with life threatening injuries, life long disability or death.
