Schedule a Free Case Evaluation

When you’re injured in an accident, there’s a lot of temptation to get it all over and done with fast. You’re already suffering and in distress; insurance companies and the other side’s lawyers are pressuring you to sign away your rights, and you just want it done. The best thing you can do in this case is to call your own injury lawyer, who can remove much of this stress and be your best friend and ally. Learn what you should look for in a Paterson personal injury lawyer, and why it’s so important to have one in your corner when you’re hurt in an accident.

Free Consultations

A good personal injury lawyer will never charge you for an initial consultation on your case. The service of seeking and getting advice as well as discussing the basics of your case is going to be stress-free, no-obligation and won’t cost you a dime. You’ve got nothing to lose!

Experience Makes a Difference

The more experience your attorney has, the better off you are. Look for an attorney who has both a legacy of service and the expertise in the area of injury you suffer. Different lawyers have different areas of specialty. Do you want a jack of all trades and master of none, or an expert in the exact kind of injury you have suffered?

Lawsuits Don’t Always Happen

The truth is, the vast majority of personal injury cases never see the inside of a courtroom. In the end, a court trial rarely helps anyone—costs rise, and nobody wins. There’s a reason why insurance companies pressure you to sign off on settlements; they don’t want to pay tons of money out. A lawyer knows how to negotiate a fair settlement without the time, expense and stress of a trial.

Understand the Fees

Most personal injury lawyers work on contingency. This means that there won’t be a fee for their services unless they recover money for you. During your consultation, ask the attorney about the fee structure for their services and how the fees will be paid.

Also understand that there may be expenses involved in the charges for service. Before you sign on to work with your attorney, get a detailed list of the expenses they charge so that you know where you stand. Avoid lawyers who are evasive about these sorts of costs.

These Things Take Time

No personal injury case is won overnight. Understand that there will be a period of time during which the expenses are being pursued. Your insurance company may help out during that time, but they also may need to be reimbursed from your settlement. Talk to your lawyer about these issues—how long it will take, how to negotiate with your own insurance company. Remember, your attorney is there to help you. They’re your best ally throughout this process.

They’ve Got Lawyers

Your opponent in the case will almost certainly have lawyers of their own. You may be at a disadvantage if you don’t have a lawyer fighting for your rights in your corner. Make sure you have the best chance possible of getting full compensation.
