Extra tips
1) The first step will always be to negotiate the settlement so you can be reimbursed for medical expenses. If the negotiation fails, your attorney will file a lawsuit against the other party.
2)Do not rush. The law provides you with time to find an attorney, settle the case, or file a lawsuit if necessary. You should speak with at least a few attorneys before proceeding with one unless you facing a statute of limitations deadline that requires you to hire a lawyer immediately.
3)Do not rely on flashy websites and billboards. An attorney’s web designer and marketing campaign doesn’t say much about his professional abilities.
4)Overpromising is a red flag. If your attorney guarantees results, you should think twice before working with him, as making such guarantees is both impossible and unethical.
5) Choose an attorney with whom you feel comfortable and trust.
