Personal injury lawyers in Barrie give each potential client the chance to have a free consultation. During that period many potential clients tend to repeat some of the same questions.
How would I benefit from having a lawyer?
A personal injury attorney reminds a client to avoid settling with the opposing party, until that same client has reached the stage of maximum medical improvement (MMI). In addition, lawyers are familiar with the tactics often used by the insurance companies. Those tactics involve using denials, delaying moves and a defensive attitude.
Will my case go to trial?
Not many cases go on to the trial stage. Lawyers always consider their client’s ability to give good answers, while under the trying conditions that could face a witness.
What should I do if I am unable to get to a scheduled medical exam?
A good personal injury lawyer should offer help with transportation to an injured client.
Is there a time limit for filing a claim?
There is no deadline for filing a claim with the insurance company. Still, there is a deadline for filing a personal injury case. That deadline has been established by the state’s statute of limitations. Someone that has tried to file a case after the deadline has passed makes an unpleasant discovery. He or she finds that the late effort has left him or her out of luck. Normally, the court refuses to honor any effort to submit a late request to file a personal injury case.
How can I pay a lawyer, when I have suffered a tremendous loss?
Personal injury lawyers charge their clients a contingency fee. That means that the lawyer receives an agreed-upon percentage of any compensation or any court-ordered judgment that goes to the client. Hence, the clients do not have to pay anything upfront.
How can I feel confident that I will win my case, and will have money to pay my lawyer?
Personal injury lawyers provide each potential client with the chance to come to a free consultation. That gives each client the chance to ask the attorney various questions. At the same time, the clients get a chance to explain the nature and extent of their injuries.
If an attorney does not feel that a possible client has a strong case, then that same attorney has the right to refuse to handle the same client’s case. In other words, lawyers usually take only those cases that they feel they can win. Clients that meet with a refusal from one lawyer do not have to give up on the chance to seek a fair compensation. Those disappointed clients have a right to speak with and seek the services of another attorney.
