How to choose a lawyer in Lyman

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 treat cases differently when they know a lawyer will go to court. Find out how well the attorney knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in this region. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays expenses. Ask who will personally handle your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use our directory to compare local attorneys on these points before you decide.

What to do after an accident in Lyman

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 anyone involved. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep every record, including bills, reports, and correspondence. Then act promptly: Maine gives you a filing deadline of 6 years from the date of injury, so delays can cost you options. A local attorney can review what you have and explain the next steps for your situation.
