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.
