Choose 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 lawyer will take a case to court. Look for someone who knows the local courts and the insurers that handle claims in the area. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays costs. 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 commit.
What to do after an accident in Still River
