5 Factors to Consider When Choosing an Injury Lawyer in Baton Rouge

There are several legal specialties under the umbrella of personal injury law. These include car accident claims, medical malpractice, product liability, premises liability, and others. It is important to remember that just because an attorney accepts personal injury cases does not necessarily mean that he or she has successfully litigated cases that are similar to yours.

You should never commit to hiring a particular lawyer until you meet him or her in person. You should come to the consultation prepared with a list of questions that will help you evaluate the prospective attorney’s experience. These include:

  • For how many years have you been practicing personal injury law?
  • Have you handled cases that are similar to mine? What were the outcomes?
  • Do you have any professional memberships?
  • Are you board certified?
  • Do you have the time to handle my case?
  • Will you or someone else in your office be handling my case?

If you are looking for an auto accident attorney in Baton Rouge with a reputation for tough litigation, turn to Laborde Earles Injury Lawyers. Our lawyers have recovered more than $200 million for our clients in settlements and verdicts. Call (337) 777-7777 today to schedule a free consultation.

Let’s examine five qualities you should look for in an injury lawyer:

  1. Courtroom Experience

The vast majority of personal injury cases settle before they go to trial, but it is important that you find a lawyer who is not afraid to take your case to court if necessary. Ask your attorney if he or she has successfully litigated cases that are similar to yours.

  1. Enough Time to Handle Your Case

Some attorneys take on far too many cases in an effort to boost their income. Ask your lawyer if he or she has the time to handle your case or if another person at the firm will be representing you. Make sure you meet the attorney who will be handling your case so you know that you feel comfortable and confident working with him or her.

  1. Positive Reviews

Check attorney review sites such as USAttorneys.com to read the opinions of the lawyer’s past clients. Were they satisfied with the quality of legal representation they received?

  1. Transparency about the Costs Associated with Legal Representation

I thank God for Digger & David. I don’t know what we would have done if it hadn’t have been for them.

Your lawyer will most likely work on a contingency fee basis, but you might still have to pay advanced court costs if your case is unsuccessful. Make sure you have a clear idea of all potential costs associated with your case.

  1. Availability

Can you call your attorney’s personal cellphone at any time? Or does the lawyer have specific hours of availability? Make sure the attorney you hire is willing to answer your questions promptly.

The reassurance from Digger and his staff gave me that renewed hope that it’s going to be okay down the road.
