How to choose a lawyer in Bath

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 an attorney is willing to go 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 and confirm there is no fee unless you win. 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 listed in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Bath

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 before you have advice. Keep records of treatment, bills, and any time missed from work. In Pennsylvania, there is a filing deadline of 2 years from the date of injury, so acting promptly matters. A local attorney can review your situation and explain the next steps.
