If you have filed or are planning to file a personal injury claim, chances are you're looking to fight for your rights to get the compensation you deserve. The best way to do this is to find an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you navigate personal injury law. An essential part of finding the right personal injury attorney is asking the right questions, so here are the top three questions to ask your personal injury attorney.

1. What Are the Costs Involved?

For most people, one of the first things they consider before anything else is the cost of hiring a personal injury attorney. Keep in mind that some personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis, meaning you only pay your attorney if they recover monetary damages on your behalf. That said, lawyers put in a lot of time and work when handling your case, so you may still be required to pay something if you lose your case. Make sure your attorney stipulates the costs you're responsible for in different scenarios.

2. Have You Handled Cases Similar to Mine?

Besides costs, experience is another matter you can't afford to overlook. According to the National Safety Council, there were more than 55 million workplace injuries in the U.S. in 2020. Other instances that can give rise to personal injury cases are auto accidents, medical malpractices, product liability, and slip and fall accidents. These cases are not made equal, so you should always ask if the attorney has handled many cases similar to yours, even if they're a seasoned attorney.

3. What Does My Case Look Like?

For starters, make sure that your attorney understands the full details of your case and has the availability to represent you. The last thing you want is to hire a personal injury attorney that doesn't have the availability you need. In addition, your attorney should be able to help you manage expectations by providing their opinion on the strength of the case. They should at least have an idea of your chances of winning and the financial worth of the case. This will help you determine whether to pursue the case or not.

The right attorney should be able to answer your questions in a satisfactory manner. If you have more questions to ask, don't hesitate to reach out to Honea Law PLLC today. We are a reputable and experienced firm who would be happy to work with you.
