Filing a personal injury claim is not always as easy as it might seem. Some injury claims are incredibly complex, and you will probably have a lot of questions for your attorney. It’s normal to have questions about a process you know little about. You can always ask these questions when you talk to an attorney during an initial case assessment.
In the meantime, we’ve put together some questions you might already have in mind for asking your attorney. We’ve also provided some general information about these questions and why the answers are important.
One of the top questions you should ask is how long you have to file a claim. If you waited a while after your accident before reaching out to an attorney, you may be running out of time to file a claim.
It’s important you ask your attorney right away. In general, an injury victim has about three years from the date of the accident to file a claim. There are some exceptions, depending on the type of accident, though. It’s best to find out more from your lawyer.
Many injury victims want to work with a lawyer who has handled cases like theirs before. You should ask your attorney whether they’ve handled your type of case and what kinds of results they’ve achieved. Have they won their clients settlements? Have they gone to trial and won? Your attorney will likely be happy to show you case results.
It’s natural for you to wonder how much money you can win in an injury claim. This is not you being greedy. This is you trying to figure out how you will pay medical bills and other financial losses after an accident. When you didn’t cause the accident, you have every right to expect the at-fault party to pay for your suffering.
Your attorney can help you add up your losses to figure out how much your claim is worth. This includes calculating nonfinancial losses like pain and suffering.
A lot of injury victims don’t want to have to go to court to receive money for their accident. This is understandable, because court can be scary for some. Your attorney will have a good idea after looking at your case as to whether you will need to go to court. The stronger your evidence is, the less likely you will need to go to trial.
Most injury cases don’t go to court, though, so try not to worry.
