Questions to Ask a Kingston Law Firm That Handles Personal Injury Cases
Before you hire a Kingston law firm to represent you in a personal injury case, you will likely attend a free initial meeting. The meeting can take place at the lawyer's office, at your home or at your hospital room. During this initial obligation-free meeting, it is essential to ask the lawyer questions to figure out whether you could successfully work together. Explore this website to discover answers to some of the most frequently asked questions Kingston injury victims ask about hiring a personal injury lawyer.
Below are 8 questions worth asking:
1. What are your fees?
Before hiring a Kingston law firm, find out how much their fees are. Furthermore, find out if you'll be required to pay upfront fees or if the fees will only be payable after your case is resolved.
2. How long will it take to reach a settlement?
This is a difficult question for any Kingston law firm to answer because the time it takes to reach a settlement varies widely, depending on the complexity of the case and the severity of your injury. Most cases take between one and three years to resolve.
3. Do you represent insurance companies?
To better understand the motives of a Kingston law firm, find out if they represent insurance companies. If they do, you may want to think twice about hiring them. Reputable personal injury lawyers only represent people who are injured or disabled because of an accident.
4. How much will the settlement be?
When interviewing a Kingston law firm, ask them to provide you with a ballpark figure of how much your settlement will be. Keep in mind that it is impossible for an attorney to provide you with an accurate figure until he meets you and analyzes your case and condition. The more your case develops, the easier it will be for an attorney to provide you with a reliable estimate.
5. Who will be handling my case?
Ask the Kingston law firm exactly who will be handling your case and who will be your point of contact throughout the claims process. Bear in mind that some attorneys hire associates. There's nothing wrong with a law firm handing your case over to an associate, but it's a good idea to evaluate the associate's skill level and background, so you can be sure that the person handling your case is qualified to do so.
6. How long have you been working in the field?
As in any field, experience counts, so it's ideal to choose a Kingston law firm with a proven track record in personal injury law.
7. What types of cases do you handle?
Some law firms practice in several areas of law, while others focus on personal injury law. Look for a Kingston law firm that practices primarily in the field of personal injury, so you can rest assured that your attorney is an expert in that particular area of law.
8. How long will I have to sue?
Limitation periods vary from one case to another and many forms and claim notices have filing deadlines, so it's important to contact a Kingston law firm immediately after your injury to find out how long you have to sue.
