How to choose a lawyer in Sterrett

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlement experience. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the Sterrett area. Get clear contingency terms in writing, including what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Sterrett

Exchange and gather information from everyone involved and any witnesses. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer.
