Legal Experience Can Be the Key to Winning a Case

Your attorney’s experience is often a factor in winning a case. In any occupation, experience and skill go hand in hand. For example, it stands to reason that the more car accident cases a lawyer has handled, the greater exposure the attorney has with different types of cases. In addition, an experienced lawyer has more familiarity with insurance tactics and proven case strategies. There is no question that knowledge acquired through decades of experience is invaluable in legal representation.

Something Else to Consider about Your Attorney’s Experience in Settling Cases

It is a fact that the majority of personal injury cases settle out of court. The is due to the fact that litigation is costly. Therefore, parties would rather avoid the expense whenever possible. However, having a proven trial lawyer at your side sends a message to the insurance company. It tells them that you are serious about seeking a fair settlement. It also says that if necessary, you will go to trial.

Do You Have What It Takes to Obtain a Fair Settlement on Your Own?

Here are some questions that are important to ask yourself:

How would you know whether the settlement offer is fair?

In many instances, you would not know. Typically, insurance companies are eager to rush to settlement, and they do so to cut costs. Until your doctor says you have reached maximum medical improvement (MMI), it is difficult to know what future medical expenses would be. An attorney understands the strategy of waiting for MMI and has the experience to evaluate what would be a fair or unfair settlement.

How do similar accident injury cases compare with yours?

Law firms that have handled similar cases to yours, already have an idea of what to expect. Based on the nature of the case and extent of injuries, cases sometimes have similar outcomes. Knowledge of case results is something an experienced attorney would have. Hard-won experience is the best teacher.

How do the fees work in a personal injury case?

We take cases on a contingency fee basis. The fee is contingent on settling the case or winning through trial. If we do not win or settle, our clients owe us no fees. In addition, our clients pay no out-of-pocket expenses. The settlement or award covers our fees. Furthermore, the consultation to evaluate whether or not you have a viable case is free.
