Pittsburgh Injury Settlements
Getting the Help You Deserve
Being the victim of a serious personal injury is traumatic in and of itself. But it's even worse if you're victimized again because you retain an attorney who's not well-versed in the specific issues surrounding personal injury law. If you don't select the right attorney, you can jeopardize your case and any future financial settlement. At the Pittsburgh personal injury law firm Rewis & Yoder, P.C., we want to get you the help and compensation you need for your personal injury case.
Here are some things to consider when you're looking for legal representation for a personal injury claim.
- Be sure the attorney has experience handling injury lawsuits that arise from the type of incident you experienced, whether it's the result of an automobile or slip and fall accident, medical malpractice, toxic exposure, or an unsafe or defective product.
- Look for an attorney who understands the statutes of the state where the injury occurred. Laws can vary greatly from state to state.
- Ask about prior personal injury settlements and damage recoveries. While many personal injury cases are settled out of court, you want to be sure your attorney does have trial experience in your specific area of need.
- Have the attorney explain the process and the expected outcome.
- Find out how quickly client calls are generally returned and ask if you will be working with other members of their Pittsburgh firm.
- Discuss the fee arrangement. Most personal injury cases are handled on a contingency basis, which means you will pay a percentage of any settlement or recovery. Be sure you understand what that percentage will be.
- Don't be afraid to ask for references and to interview several attorneys before you decide. Reputable firms generally offer an initial no-cost consultation. Be sure you feel comfortable with the attorney you choose.
