A serious car
accident is a traumatic experience. You can make the claim or lawsuit process
much less stressful by hiring the best car
accident attorney. How do you know who is the best to hire? Here are
some key tips to follow:
·
Set up free consultations with
several attorneys: Most car accident attorneys do not charge hourly for
consultations. Set up meetings with a few car accident lawyers in your city to
find one that you like. You probably will need to work with him or her for
months, so make sure you get along well and that the attorney communicates
effectively with you.
·
Talk about all fees: Most
personal injury attorneys do not charge fees unless they win your case. You
should be able to find a great attorney who will take your case without
charging you anything upfront. If you win a settlement or verdict, you will pay
a percentage of the money you receive.
·
Get a service contract: You
want to have in writing what the attorney is going to charge you for their
legal fees and expenses. Keep a copy of the document for your records. Do not
use an attorney who does not provide in writing exactly what you will be
charged.
·
Bring all car accident
information to your consultation: If you want to get everything sorted out in
the initial consultation, bring all of your documentation about the car
accident, including a copy of the police report, medical insurance information,
auto insurance policy, medical records, hospital bills, pictures of the
accident and injuries, and anything else you can think of. The more information
the attorney has the better he or she can gauge if you have a case
