No matter how careful you are in life, accidents can still happen. When you become the injured victim of one of those accidents, you have a legal right to obtain compensation. However, obtaining that compensation is not a simple process by any means, which is why you need the best North Georgia personal injury lawyer to help you obtain complete financial compensation for your injuries.
Finding the Right Attorney
Finding the right attorney involves evaluating potential lawyers based on several factors. The first of these factors is experience. You do not want a personal injury lawyer who does not have substantial experience practicing in this area of law. You want to find a lawyer who has a proven track record of success and has enough experience in personal injury law that they have become proficient at handling the most complex aspects of cases. From proving fault in a highly complex commercial vehicle injury case to knowing the tricks insurance companies have up their sleeves in their attempts to limit their payouts, your lawyer should be well equipped in handling these sorts of issues.
Never hire a quick settlement firm. Always hire your lawyer and their law firm based not based on advertisements, but rather on the attorney’s dedication to their clients and cases, even if that requires years of litigation to achieve justice. Hire a lawyer with a proven track record of success. You do not want to hire what appears to be an experienced lawyer whose has a history of accepting quick, low-ball settlements and is not willing to work the case through litigation if necessary to make you whole for all of your losses.
Financing
Next, you want to make sure you completely understand the fee arrangements the lawyer requires for their services and they should be clearly stated in any contract. For instance, you should not pay a retainer fee to an attorney up front for a personal injury case when the industry standard requires them to offer you a contingency fee. Additionally, you should not agree to a contingency fee that requires you to pay for out of pocket costs and fees as the case progresses instead of the law firm being reimbursed after a successful recovery. Finally, you should never agree to pay a personal injury attorney for their fees or out of pocket costs if the attorney fails to recover for you. If an attorney will not offer these basic terms, you should consult with another personal injury attorney.
Resources
You also need to know whether or not the lawyer you’re looking to hire has access to the resources necessary to successfully pursue your claim. For instance, a law firm will need sufficient cash reserves to hire medical professionals, accident reconstructionists, and other experts to handle your personal injury lawsuit. It is best to choose law firms with resources that also help to provide additional services to maximize your net recovery such as negotiating any outstanding medical bills or liens.
