What to Look for in an Auto Accident Attorney

So, you’ve been in a car accident – now what do you do? Did you remember all of the steps you’re supposed to take at the scene of the accident, like exchanging information and documenting the scene itself? Have you done the proper follow up? Is the insurance company for the driver who was at-fault giving you the run around? Were you injured and now missing time from work to recover? Have you decided that it’s time to hire an attorney to help you?

If so, do you know what to look for in a personal injury attorney?

First, you should look for one that specializes in auto accidents. Every state’s laws are different and often very complicated, so it is essential for the success of your case that your attorney be a specialist in this area of practice.

Second, you need to consider the experience of your attorney. He may advertise that he’s an auto accident attorney, but has he actually settled or won cases for his clients? You may want to ask how long he’s been in practice and ask for a list of client referrals you can call. Also ask for a list of cases settled and the amounts awarded to his clients.

The third item may be one of the most important that you consider. Does your attorney have any litigation experience and how many of his cases has he won?

Brian J. Glick, Esq. of Boca Raton, Florida comments on the subject by saying, “If your attorney doesn’t have litigation experience, you need to look for someone else. Not all insurance companies are going to settle with fair compensation to the victim, so your attorney must be prepared to go to court on your behalf. And win.”

A fourth quality your attorney needs is compatibility and chemistry with you, the client. Does your attorney listen carefully to your concerns? Does he encourage your feedback as well? If you don’t feel you can communicate openly and honestly with your lawyer, it’s time to look for another lawyer to help you win your case.
