Questions to Ask Before Hiring an Injury Attorney

Ask who will actually handle your case and how often you can expect updates. Direct communication becomes especially important when treatment or insurance issues change.

Protecting your health and the evidence early helps preserve your options.

Discuss the firm's experience with similar claims, including whether the lawyers prepare and try cases when a fair settlement is not available.

Make sure the contingency fee agreement, case costs and decision-making process are explained in plain language before you sign.
