Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how well they know injury claims and insurers. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlements, because insurers price cases differently when they know a lawyer will go to court. Look for someone familiar with local courts and the insurers that operate in the area. Get contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays expenses. Confirm who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions when comparing the local attorneys in our directory.
What to do after an accident in Kennebunk
After an accident in Kennebunk, put safety first and get medical care 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 everyone involved, including witnesses and insurance details. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer before you understand your rights. Keep records of treatment, bills, and lost time. Maine gives you a filing deadline of 6 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters. A local lawyer can help you protect evidence and meet that deadline.
