How to choose a lawyer in Augusta

Look for a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Ask about a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will take a case to court. Find out how well the lawyer knows local courts and the insurers you may face. Get clear contingency terms in writing: what percentage the fee is and who pays costs. Ask who personally handles your case, and confirm the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory, and pick the one who answers them plainly.

What to do after an accident in Augusta

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 lost work. Then act promptly: Maine has a filing deadline of 6 years from the date of injury, so delay can cost you the chance to recover. A local attorney can review your situation and explain the next steps.

Maine injury law, in brief

Maine gives you 6 years from the date of injury to file a personal injury claim. The state uses modified comparative negligence with a 50% bar: you recover only if you are less than 50% at fault, and the jury reduces damages to a fair amount. See the Maine page for full details.
