Whatdo's and don'ts should Iwatch out for in choosing an accident and injury lawyer?
A:
The top 11 do's and don'ts in choosing an injury lawyer who is right for your case is to look for lawyers who:
1. don't say they never go to court (insurance companies love this because you have to take what is offered)
2. don't boast about past glories (what matters is your case now)
3. don't try to be all things to all consumers (you want your lawyer to have the experience to solve your problem)
4. don't claim to be aggressive (you can be road kill in a contest of egos between your lawyer and the insurance company)
5. don't try to close the sale in a yellow page ad (no pressure, just useful information)
6. do have the experience and qualifications to solve your injury problem
7. do give you an impartial and objective way to check their qualifications
8. do go to trial if necessary
9. do get results that are right for you
10. do provide information the consumer can use to make important decisions
11. do care enough about you to write the ultimate guide to Newfoundland injury law and offer it free to consumers.
