After an accident, your injuries could make it difficult to pursue your personal injury claim on your own. Fortunately, you can hire a Nevada injury lawyer to handle your case while you focus on your health.
Most injury attorneys provide free consultations to new clients. A Las Vegas injury lawyer can evaluate your case and help you make informed decisions about how to proceed with your injury claim. A free consultation is a valuable tool for you and the lawyer you meet.
During your consultation, you and the lawyer have several goals, including:
- Determining the strength and value of your case
- Evaluating whether the lawyer has the skill set to represent you
- Assessing the fit between you and the lawyer
Most accident victims have never hired a lawyer. Many have never even met with one. To ensure you get the most out of your free consultation, here are nine things you should keep in mind.
1. You Have Limited Time
Free does not mean unlimited. When you schedule your consultation, ask how much time you will have. Arrive with a list of issues to discuss and follow your list.
2. Free Means Free
Lawyers use free consultations to get new cases, and clients use them to gather information about their cases. Both parties benefit from a free discussion to see if the client has a valid claim and whether the attorney can help them.
3. Be Open About Your Case
It’s important that you stick to the facts when discussing your case with the lawyer. Straying from the truth does not benefit anyone, as it can make it more difficult for the attorney to assess whether you have a valid claim.
4. You Should Discuss Fees
Injury lawyers typically charge a contingency fee. Discuss how the lawyer charges for legal services. Make sure you ask about litigation costs and other expenses that the lawyer charges on top of legal fees.
5. You Want an Experienced Lawyer
Discuss the lawyer’s experience handling similar cases. Lawyers build a base of knowledge about certain types of cases, and this knowledge does not always translate smoothly to other types of cases.
6. Learn as Much as You Can About Your Case
One of your goals for your meeting should be to learn about the law. Because you need to make informed decisions about your case, you need to understand the laws that cover it.
7. Ask Who Will Handle Your Case
Sometimes, the lawyer you meet will not handle your case. Ask whether the lawyer will pass your case to another lawyer in the firm. This is not a bad thing, but you should know who you will deal with after hiring the firm.
8. The Lawyer Might Decline To Represent You
Lawyers can decline representation. Sometimes this happens because you have no case. It can also happen if the lawyer has a conflict of interest. If a lawyer turns you down, meet with other lawyers.
9. You Have No Obligation to the Lawyer
You have no obligation to hire a lawyer after a consultation. You should take your time before making this important decision.
