What You Should Ask a Personal Injury Lawyer During a Free Consultation
When you are involved in an accident due to another person or reckless party’s negligence, you are entitled to file a personal injury claim with their insurance for financial compensation. Nobody should have to pay the consequences of another person’s breach of care, and that’s where a personal injury lawyer comes in.
As you recover from your injuries, your first focus should be locating a compassionate, knowledgeable, and reputable attorney to help oversee your filing, scheduling, and more. Most firms will offer a free consultation and case evaluation to give you a good idea of what to expect if you partner with them moving forward. To help ensure you are prepared with all the information you need, the team at NK Law Group has put together a guide on what questions to ask during your consultation to walk out feeling confident in your decision.
3 Questions to Ask a Lawyer During Your Free Consultation
When you sit down with your potential attorney, keep the following three questions in mind:
What Damages Can I Collect?
During your consultation, the attorney can review your case and advise you regarding the types of damages that you may be able to recover. This can include economic damages, which are compensation for medical bills, lost wages due to inability to work, or reduced earning capacity. It may also include non-economic damages, compensation for intangible losses such as pain and suffering, mental anguish, and scarring and disfigurement.
They may be able to provide you with an estimate of a reasonable settlement offer for your specific case. If they give you a very high estimate without doing any calculations or are quick to give a specific estimate, be wary.
Have You Handled Similar Cases Before?
It’s always a good idea to ask about the attorney’s past experience, how long they have been practicing, and if they have handled any similar personal injury claims before. If your case is related to a fairly common accident, like a motor vehicle accident, they will likely have documented proof of past successes and experiences. If it is something more specific, like a dog bite or product liability injury, it can be reassuring to discuss their specific experiences and qualifiers.
What Are Your Fees?
Every attorney has a different approach to charging their clients, and it’s important you understand their specific fees and what you would be paying for their services.
