How to choose a lawyer in Napa

Start by looking for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers often treat cases differently when an attorney is willing to go to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and insurers, and ask for clear contingency terms in writing, including costs and how the fee is calculated. Find out who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Napa

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from anyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and anything related to the incident. California has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters. Once your health is addressed, use our directory to connect with a local personal injury lawyer who can review your situation.
