Been in a car accident? If you’re a novice, have suffered permanent or long-term injuries and disability and face an unfair settlement offer, calling on the assistance of a car accident lawyer can help turn things in your favor, says Lifehack.
How to find one, though? Here are top tips to help you:
Start with Referrals
Take advantage of your network. Reach out to friends and family for referrals. Already have a business lawyer? Ask him for possible leads as well. Mine your contacts for helpful information.
Do Your Own Research
If those inquiries don’t give you any useful leads, then go online and do your own research. Look up law firms in your area and check out the range of legal services they offer.
Consider Cases Handled
Don’t just go for any law firm, though. Take a long look at the types of cases that the company handles and specializes on? You’ll want to work with a law firm that has considerable experience in handling personal injury cases like yours.
Read Reviews
With plenty of lawyers offering their services over the internet, more and more clients are also sharing feedback and reviews online. Find out if there are any reviews regarding the law firm or car accident lawyer you intend to hire. While a ton of good reviews can easily be taken with a grain of salt, bad reviews or a slew of complaints from past clients are warning signs that mean you’ll be better off hiring someone else.
Ask about the Workload
Find a lawyer who’s dedicated to your case, one who isn’t already too busy with a full load of cases. That way, your lawyer can dedicate the time and effort necessary in handling the details of your case.
