Consultation With a Personal Injury Lawyer

Back To Glossary

What is a Consultation With a Personal Injury Lawyer?

If you have been hurt as the result of an accident or someone else’s negligence, you might be unclear about whether or not you need to hire a lawyer. You may have many questions and concerns about what is best to do for someone in your situation.

During your free consultation, you will have the opportunity to get the answers to all of your questions and decide for yourself whether or not you want to continue pursuing your claim.

The majority of individuals have the misconception that they only need to get a consultation if they are certain that they want to file a lawsuit; nevertheless, the reverse is true: you should speak to an attorney after any accident or injury and use their help to decide what to do next.

What Happens During a Personal Injury Consultation?

During your free consultation, you will speak with an experienced attorney about your accident and receive competent legal advice. It is possible for the attorney to meet with the injured party’s loved ones rather than directly with the injured party themselves. This happens when the victim is underage, unconscious, or when there are allegations of wrongful death.

The purpose of the consultation is for the attorney to learn about the circumstances surrounding your accident. Once you have shared all of these details, the attorney will be able to provide you with your legal options. 

They will also be able to provide you with advice on the following:

  • Whether or not the law is on your side
  • The first steps you need to take
  • How to handle the insurance company
  • How long claims like yours typically take to win
  • How to get medical care for your injuries without paying upfront
  • Whether or not you have a strong case
  • The amount of compensation you are entitled to receive

During your consultation, they would also take the time to explain any fees that you would be required to pay should you decide to proceed. 

At our personal injury law firm, we do not charge victims any up-front fees for our representation and legal services. Our lawyers will receive their payment from the final settlement amount once your case is won. 

Questions to Ask During Your Consultation

During the consultation, you will have the opportunity to determine whether or not you can put your trust in the attorney and whether or not they are the ideal fit for you. The following are some questions that may be worth asking:

-Do you have experience handling cases like mine? 

-What was the outcome of those cases? 

-How many years of experience do you have handling cases like mine? 

-Have you ever lost? 

-Do you handle other types of cases? 

-Will you be handling my case or someone else? 

A qualified lawyer should have experience working on cases that are very similar to yours. For example, if you were injured in a car accident, your lawyer should have experience representing car accident victims.
