How Does An Attorney Evaluate The Strength Of My Case?

A personal injury attorney is a sort of investor in your case. These lawyers handle cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are no fees or costs unless money is recovered for you.  This means that personal injury lawyers will only accept cases that are expected to result in a positive outcome.

If the chances of a positive outcome are not very strong, an attorney will likely not invest in that case.  Over many years of investing in personal injury cases, an attorney gets a good feel of what is a good case and what is not in terms of a positive financial outcome.

The attorney also has to look at the facts and evidence surrounding the case, which will give them a good idea of whether you have a strong case.

How Can I Best Prepare To Discuss The Details Of My Accident?

Being involved in an accident can leave emotional scars, which makes discussing the details of the accident an uphill task for the victim. However, personal injury attorneys have experience working with victims and know how to make it easier for you to tell your story.

In our case, we do consultations over the phone or in person.  All you need to do is call and make an appointment, and we will guide you through the rest.

It’s very common for clients to accidentally leave out essential details of their accidents. However, an experienced attorney understands what really matters and will handle all of the key points that are needed during the consultation.
