Choosing the right lawyer for you is very important as personal injury cases can have very serious consequences. During this process, you may meet with many different lawyers and not know which one you should ask. That’s why we would like to talk about the questions you can ask a personal injury lawyer before you work with them, which will make you feel more comfortable.
What are your areas of experience and expertise?
If you start with this question, you can easily understand whether a lawyer is right for you. You can ask him/her how much experience he/she has in personal injury cases, or you can find out which types of personal injury cases he/she has more experience in. This is because personal injuries are also categorized into categories and can include car accidents, slip&falls or medical mistakes. If you ask this question to any Reno personal injury attorneys, they will provide you with the best information and you can narrow down your search from there.
How long have you been working on these types of cases?
Actually, this question can also be related to the experience of the lawyer. Unfortunately, the profession of a lawyer is not only about memorizing all the law books and getting high scores in exams. In the legal profession, people need to have a certain amount of experience because experienced lawyers know very well which cases they can solve in how short a time and which people they can use to do it. So you can ask your potential lawyer how many years of experience he or she has in personal injury cases. Or you can ask him or her what kind of success rate he or she has had in such cases before, because the success he or she has had in cases similar to yours may give you some indication of how your case will turn out. But again, don’t rely on this because every case is unique and no two are likely to be the same. At the same time, if you work with an experienced lawyer, he or she will be able to inform you more clearly about the potential outcomes of your case.
How will the case proceed?
You are going through a very complex process and the lawyer you hire will need to guide you through this complex process and make it a little less complex for you. So you can ask him or her how the litigation process works, and depending on how clearly he or she gives you an answer and how much he or she can put your mind at ease, you can decide whether or not to work with this lawyer. You can ask him how the litigation process works and how long it will take, or you can ask him what steps are waiting for you. Perhaps you are wondering whether the case can be resolved without going to court, which you should also let your lawyer know at the first meeting.
What is the fee in case of failure?
Unfortunately, not all cases end with a positive outcome, so you should find out the lawyer’s fee system before you start working with him or her. Because some lawyers work on an hourly basis and some are success-oriented. If you are with a success-oriented lawyer, the fee will be different in case of a bad outcome of the case.
