You have the right to seek compensation if you have been involved in an accident caused by another party, or are a victim of negligent medical practices.
We understand how important it is for you to have the most reliable and capable personal injury attorneys on your side during this difficult period in your life. We have put together a brief guide on how to choose the right Louisiana personal injury attorney to help you meet your goals.
Do You Need A Claims Management Company (CMC) Or Personal Injury Lawyer?
The first step is to decide whether you will be best served by choosing a CMC or a personal injury attorney. While CMCs do have their advantages, there are two main reasons why we think you should go with a personal injury lawyer:
- Claim Management Companies cannot seek compensation through a court process as they do not use the services of a trained lawyer always.
- The CMC’s payment comes from the compensation awarded as they usually work on a contingency basis. You could end up paying out thousands to the CMC, because their fee varies with the amount of compensation received.
Consider Reputable And Accredited Lawyers Only
Bradley Egenberg, Owner of Egenberg APLC, partner at The Law Center suggests that you check a lawyer's awards and accreditations. Seasoned and reputable attorneys will have a stellar career backed by exceptional achievements/awards and accreditations.
Focus On the Area Of Specialization
It is important to hire a lawyer that is experienced in the specific area of the law relating to your case, be it medical negligence such as IUD complications with Paragard, or work or travel related injury.
Seek Recommendations
When looking for the right attorney, seeking recommendations from family members and close friends or checking out online reviews from past clients can be quite helpful.
You will be able to learn more about the most suitable options and legal processes for your case, with this approach.
Schedule a Consultation
It is possible for you to meet and interview the solicitors under consideration, in-person, before making a final hiring decision. Just schedule a meeting and don’t forget to come with a list of questions you would like them to address. You can take this opportunity to go over your case and find out just how strong it is as well as the costs and steps involved in the entire personal claim process.
