My Forex Adventure
Let me first start by telling you that I like to gamble, but what i love most is wining. So I started Forex Trading one day. I thought that I would make lots of money with the Forex market. I had all these dreams of becoming a rich guy and all. however that did not go as I planned. Soon after I started trading i found out that it was really hard and wanted to quit. Forex trading is hard but luckily I stuck with it. Soon I found out that although I might not become rich in a month trading the Forex I can make quite a bit of money. To this day I still trade the forex market with my own forex day trading system

What a Car Wreck Attorney Expects from you.
In my last post I talked about common expectations a client should have of his/her lawyer. However the client-attorney relationship is not only a one way street. Your car wreck attorney will have some expectations of you. Have you ever had to help someone that was not making it easy? Was a nervous wreck and was causing you anxiety? Imagine the perfect person to work with. They would probably calm, relaxed, cooperative, right?
Well a car wreck attorneys ideal client would have the same attributes. As a client you should be be calm and willing to cooperate. Trust your lawyer, chances are he knows a bit more than you. Make it easy for him to help you. Make sure you have everything well documented before you talk to him. So make sure that you take notes at the scene of the car wreck and be prepared to share them with your attorney. Give him/her all the notes you took as well as any pictures you might have of the accident. Make it easy for him to collect witness testimony and evidence.
Make sure you show your lawyer respect when it comes to his time and schedule. Do not call him at 2am expecting to discuss your case. Also make sure that you keep your car wreck attorney well informed on any new developments. If you are being aproached by the insurace company make sure you let him/her know.
Be willing to provide anything your attorney asks for. Let him/her know if you wont be available on certain dates. Make sure you keep in touch with your lawyer. If needed help with reserch or leg work. Not everything in a investigation needs a law degree. There might be some things you could do that would not only show that you are commited to the case but also would probably save you some money.
I will let you out by saying this: the most important thing to remember is that your car wreck attorney is not your friend. He/she is your attorney and you need to keep a bussiness type relationship at all times. His/her motivation will be that share of the compensation at the end of the case. If you win that is. Also make sure that any legal fees are paid on time. Well thats it till next time have a good one.

What you can expect from a Car Wreck Attorney
Many of us don't know what to expect from a car wreck attorney. Most of us have never needed a lawyer before and so have no idea what to expect from the client/attorney relationship. In today's post we will look at some characteristics that a lawyer should posses.
The first and I would argue most important things to expect is confidentiality. Just like a doctor a attorney is required to keep your conversations as well as personal information private. They are not allowed to share this type of information with anyone but you. Be it children or family sharing a clients information is a big no no. Yes but what if you only talked to that attorney once and decided not to hire him/her? It does not matter if you hire that attorney or not they are required by law to keep client information as well as possible client information private.
You can also expect your lawyer to be honest with you. A attorney should be able to tell you the truth as well as take responsibility for any of your personal information as well as your money.
A car wreck attorney should also be competent. Your lawyer should be able to be able to seek answers related to questions about the case. This person should also should be able to keep your paperwork in order and so that your case is not dismissed because of a technicality. A lawyer should know what he/she is doing however this will not guarantee you will win your case. remember that the insurance firm will also have its own highly skilled lawyers if not a team of them fighting for their side.
Finally you should expect to be kept informed. As a client you have a right to know all things pertaining to your case. If you have any questions you should not hesitate to ask and your lawyers should answer them to the best of their ability. Most car wreck attorneys will make it a habit to send their clients copies of all documents related to the case. Make sure that you ask about this matter before you decide to hire a attorney.

FAQ's About Car Wreck Attorney's
In today's post I will be addressing some frequently asked questions about car wreck attorney's, and hopefully you will learn something new. So lets start with the first question.
Why do I need a Car Wreck Lawyer?
Ah yes the most importnat one, the why. For most of us it would seem normal that when you are hurt in a car accident the person responsible would accept responsability and their insurance would do the right thing and compensate you for your pain and suffering. Well yes that would be true in a fairy tale world however in the real world people dont take responability for their own actions. And the insurance company, well they stand to profit from undercompensating injury victims. So they take advantage of you knowing full well that the majority of victims dont know their rights under the law. That is where a car wreck attorney comes into play. You'r lawyer does know the law and he will fight for you.
How Much will a Attorney Coast Me?
Most car wreck Attorneys charge on a contingency basis. This means that if they win the case for you they will get paid. If they loose the case you dont have to pay them anything. If you win they will take a percentage of the settlement. Usually this ranges from 30% to 40%. However keep in mind that you still have to pay some fees such as a filling fee for the case, no matter if you will or loose. As you can see hiring a car wreck attorney is a good idea since you dont stand to loose almost anything.
Where Can I Find a Car Wreck Attorney?
You can ask for referals from family, friends or look in the yellow pages or in internet directories.
If I met with an attorney do I have to hire him/her?
No you dont have to. When you first meet with an attorney pretend you are interviewing someone for a job. Ask as many questions as you can and if you are not satisfied look for someone else.
What if I Hire a Car Wreck Attorney but I Dont like How he/she Handles My Case?
You can choose to let your attorney go whenever you want. However if you negotiated a contingency fee that attorney will usually have a claim to part of the proccedes in case you win the case. It is best to talk to a different car wreck attorney before you decide to let the current one go.

Do's and Dont's after a Car Accident
Today will be a short and sweet post on the Do's and Dont's at the scene of a car accident. As a car accident victim you need to understand that winning a case will not only depend on your car wreck attorney but also on you. For example if you admit responability for the accident at the accident scene even the best car wreck attorney will not be able to help you. So without further ado here is the list of do's and dont's.
Do:
Do:
- get name, adress of people involved in the accident as well as insurance information and make, model, color, licence plate number of cars involved
- name and adresses of pasengers in any of the vehicles as well as of any witnesses.
- record the weather condition and place of the accident.
- write down anything the driver at fault says (ex. im sory i was on the phone)
- if a police officer shows up note the officers name, badge number and city.
- Take pictures of the scene if possible.
- Dont give a statement to the other partys insurance comapny without talking to your own car wreck attorney first.
- The same goes with your own imsurance company, talk to your lawyer first.
- NEVER ADMIT RESPONSABILITY to anyone at the scene or any insurance company.

Common Pitfalls in Choosing a Attorney
In my last post I gave you some tips about finding a car wreck attorney. However for this post I want to warn you about some common pitfalls when choosing a car accident lawyer. So pay close attention and don't fall for these common mistakes.
Do not judge an attorney by their age or school they attended. A young lawyer does not translate into a bad lawyer and an old lawyer does not translate into a good attorney. The same goes for the law school they graduated from. Just because it is a prestigious school does not mean they are qualified for the job. School and on the job experience are two different things. Good grades does not mean that person is hardworking or that attorney knows how to win a case.
A even bigger mistake people make is in choosing a law firm instead of a lawyer. You need to choose a specific car wreck attorney that you feel comfortable with. Don't just choose a law firm because you heard their name in advertisements. They might be a good law firm but the lawyer that gets assigned to your case might not be the right one for the job.
Another mistake people make is hiring a lawyer because they see them on T.V. The only thing that says about a lawyer is that he has money to spend and does not necessarily means he is good at what he does. You need to do your research about that person. Look into their track record. How many cases did they win? How many did they loose? It is very important that you understand this. Being advertised on T.V. does not make one a good car wreck attorney.
Another mistake is choosing a lawyer based on family or friends referral. Although asking friends and family is not a bad idea the problem appears when you do not ask specifics. Does this lawyer specialize in car accidents? Your friends lawyer might be the best divorce lawyer on the planet but how will that help you with your car accident lawsuit?
The last and biggest mistake people make is failure to interview the car wreck attorney before they decide to hire them. You need to make sure that this lawyer is right for you. Make an interview and talk to them. Make sure you ask question. How many cases like yours did they win? How much experience do they have? How much do they charge? Ask as many questions as you have. Treat this like a job interview. You are the employer and the lawyer is the potential employee? While talking to them ask yourself if this person seems reasonable and are his thoughts logical. Is he confident? Does he look like he knows what he is doing? You would not want to hire a inexperienced, incompetent employee do you?

Finding a Car Wreck Attorney
If you have been injured in a car accident you are probably looking for a car wreck attorney. Hopefully I can give you some tips about finding a good one that will help you get the compensation you deserve. It is important to understand that the process of finding a good attorney is very important and without one you are sure to loose in court and receive nothing for your pain and most likely lost work and wages.
This next step is very important so pay close attention. You need to focus on finding a car wreck attorney. Many people don't realize that not all attorneys are the same. If you have a hart condition you would not go to your dentist to help you. So don't go to a divorce attorney when you got in a car accident.
If you don't know where to start in your search I advice asking around. If you don't ask you will never find a good car wreck attorney. It is human nature to tell everyone when you had a bad experience and keep silent when you had a good experience. That is why I take online reviews with a grain of salt. I would advise you to ask around the office, your coworkers, family, friends anyone close to you. Chances are good that someone you know used a car accident lawyer at some point in time. Ask them about their experience with that attorney and if they would recommend them.
If you cant find anyone you know look in your local yellow pages or do a search online. Once you get a phone number for a local car wreck attorney give them a call and schedule a consultation. Either in person or by phone ask about their track record. You need to know their track record for similar cases like yours. If they lost all their previous cases what makes you think that they will win yours? You would be better off representing yourself. You would still loose but you would not have lawyer expenses to deal with.
When doing a consultation make sure you ask as many questions as you can. Don't be afraid to ask for references of past clients. Give them a call and ask them about their experience with this car wreck attorney. Also before deciding to hire this attorney make sure you have a pay as you go payment plan. You don't want to pay a car wreck attorney at the start of the case only to find out half way through that he is a complete idiot. Good luck in your search and hope you win.
