Traumatic brain injury (TBI), can have an impact on almost every area of your life. It is expensive to treat and many victims have to live with long-term health issues that limit their ability to lead normal life.
You may be eligible for compensation if you are seriously injured in an accident. This includes pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages. A lawyer can help you fight for fair settlements, offering guidance and representation during proceedings.
With your financial future at risk, it is important to think carefully about who you hire. We will share some qualities that you should look out for when hiring a lawyer.
Relevant Experience
A compelling brain injury case requires unique tactics that are not available in other types of personal injuries cases. Although you don’t necessarily have to hire an attorney who is solely focused on TBI cases, it might be in your best interest to find someone with experience representing victims in similar circumstances.
History and Success
Although past wins don’t guarantee future wins, they can be a strong indicator that a lawyer or law firm will go the extra mile for their clients. You should also review the reviews of past clients to get a better idea about how they represent their clients.
Good Reputation
Your reputation is important in the field of personal injury law. Typically, if an insurer knows who your attorney is–and he or she is well respected–they are far more likely to take them seriously–especially if they have proven themselves during litigation and/or trial.
Accessibility
You may have questions during proceedings about the status of your case or your role in each stage. You will need an attorney who is available to answer your questions promptly. You should also ask the lawyer how quickly they return emails, phone calls, and texts. Also, if you will be able to speak directly to the attorney handling your case.
