How to choose a lawyer in Clayton

Choose a Clayton personal injury lawyer who focuses on injury cases rather than one who handles them occasionally. Look for a real trial track record, since insurers treat attorneys differently when a case may go to court. Ask whether the lawyer knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in your area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Confirm who personally handles your case and who you will talk to. Finally, check the attorney'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 Clayton

After an accident in Clayton, get medical care first, even if you feel fine, because some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes, and exchange and gather information from everyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and any time missed from work. Then act promptly: Indiana has a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so waiting can cost you the right to recover. A local attorney can explain the next steps for your situation.
