Your personal injury consultation

A consultation with a lawyer can help you to decide if you want to sue for help with medical bills, to replace any lost income, and for pain and suffering. An experienced lawyer can tell you what to expect and can help you to determine your next step. You should come prepared to your appointment, with a list of questions you would like to have answered, questions such as:

• Do you think I have a case? If so, how much do you think my case may be worth?

• How long do you think it might take for my case to be resolved?

• Are there any local or state laws that might help my case?

• What can I do to help my case move along?

• Do cases similar to mine usually go to trial or settle out of court?

• If I decide to go ahead with a lawsuit, what will my role be?

• What will you do if we are offered a settlement that seems too low?

• Who can I contact at your firm if I have any more questions?

You might also have questions for your lawyer about their credentials and experience, such as:

• How long have you been practicing personal injury law?

• What percentage of your practice is devoted to personal injury law?

• What kinds of settlements have you received in the past in cases similar to mine?
