You have an important decision to make. Technically, any lawyer licensed to practice law in Texas can represent you after an RV crash, but not every lawyer may be the right choice for you.
Here are some considerations to keep in mind.
- The lawyer’s experience. An experienced personal injury attorney can guide you through an RV accident case and make sure no costly mistakes are made. The lawyer who drafted your will or helped you buy your home may not have any experience with personal injury cases and not know enough about the practice of personal injury law to help you in the same way.
- His or her willingness to investigate the crash. You want an attorney who will put in the extra effort to get as much information as possible about your accident. All aspects of your crash should be fully investigated so useful evidence can be protected and used during settlement negotiations or in court.
- The attorney's view on personal injury settlements. An insurance settlement that compensates you for all of past and future injuries is desirable. You want your lawyer to try to negotiate a settlement so you get the recovery you deserve without the uncertainty or stress of a trial. However, you don’t want to settle for less than your case is worth just because the lawyer doesn’t want the work of going to trial. Accordingly, include the possibility of a going to trial to protect your rights as one of your talking points during a legal consultation.
- How the lawyer will be paid. Some personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis. That means an attorney's fees are paid out of your settlement or court recovery. You won’t owe any hourly fees up front.
- Your gut feeling at an initial meeting. Your RV accident lawyer has an important job to do for you. Therefore, it's important to hire someone you trust and who communicates well. You should review a lawyer’s testimonials and reviews, but also listen to your intuition.
