How to choose a lawyer in Franklin

Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers treat cases differently when they know an attorney is willing to go to court. Look for someone familiar with local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case costs. Ask who will personally handle 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 Franklin

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 with anyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer before you have advice. Keep records of treatment, bills, and any time missed from work. Acting promptly matters in Indiana, where the filing deadline is 2 years from the date of injury. Once your immediate needs are handled, you can use our directory to connect with a local attorney who can review your situation.
