Question of the day: Don't Be Afraid To Ask Your Question

Mike Bryant — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 09:46:00 GMT

During the month of June, I have been addressing common questions that get asked in our practice. Today's Question is really advice: Don't Be Afraid To Ask Your Questions.

It is imperative to the attorney client relationship that you ask the questions that you have. If you are at home- write them down and call when you need to. There is nothing like information that would have help the case but for some reason was never asked about. Always keep in mind, that you hired the attorney. It's not the other way around. So if you have a question make sure you get it answered.

These questions and answers were not intended to replace a consultation with an attorney, nor do they take into consideration facts that may differ about your particular case. Here at the Injuryboard, we have experienced attorneys who can deal with your individual questions and best help you with your case. Feel free to get the help you need by contacting one of us.

Question of the day: Should I wait to hire an attorney?

A lawyer's most important job after an injury is collecting evidence. Do you know what photos, papers and medical care will be important? A good lawyer knows. While it may take a long time to get your case to the point of settlement, there are many things that a skilled personal injury attorney can do to document and help prove your case. In some collisions, early investigation can mean the difference between winning and losing. Many insurance companies set the reserves for your case very early. They need to be updated to ensure that those reserves are appropriate and reevaluated. Hiring the right person helps in making the regular updates and keeps you from making mistakes by talking to the adjuster yourself.

It is often very sad for us to see damage done to an injury case becasue the clients waited to hire us. Remember, it doesn't cost any more to hire a lawyer early rather than later!

Call your attorney. When you signed the retainer, you hired the law firm to work for you. It's important that you feel you are informed and have your questions answered, but always remember you didn't hire a mind reader. So if you are sitting at home or talking to friends and it hits you that you have a question, write it down and call.

We routinely meet people for free to review their rights and explain what it is that we can do to help you. In the typical personal injury case, we get paid through a percentage of the recovery. In criminal cases, we get paid a flat fee.
