How to choose a lawyer in Columbus

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 they know a lawyer will go to court. Look for someone who knows the local courts and the insurers you may deal with. Get the contingency terms in writing: what percentage the lawyer takes and who pays case costs. Ask who will personally handle your case day to day. Finally, check the lawyer's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.

What to do after an accident in Columbus

Get medical care first, even if you feel fine, since some injuries show up later. Document the scene and your injuries with photos and notes. Exchange and gather information from everyone involved, including names, contact details, and insurance information. Avoid admitting fault or giving a recorded statement to an insurer. Keep records of treatment, bills, and anything related to the accident. Acting promptly matters in Texas, because the filing deadline is 2 years from the date of injury. If you are unsure about your options, connecting with a local attorney early can help you protect your claim.
