Choosing the Right Clearlake Personal Injury Attorney

Searching for and selecting the right personal injury attorney is incredibly daunting, especially if you have never needed a lawyer's assistance. On top of the confusion you are experiencing with the thousands of choices to pick from, you are also trying to recover from your injuries and handle your everyday life.

Even if you do not think we are the right Clearlake personal injury lawyer for you, here are some crucial things to consider when searching for the proper legal representation for your case:

  • Select someone with extensive – and exclusive - experience in personal injury law. Think of it this way: Would you prefer a primary physician with some surgery experience to perform surgery on your brain, or do you want a brain surgeon who has conducted successful surgeries every day for decades to do your surgery?
  • Do extensive research on any Clearlake car accident lawyer you are interested in. Check out Avvo, Yelp, Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other social media and review platforms to find out what past clients have said about the lawyers you are considering. The information is at your fingertips, so there is no reason not to be informed about your choice.
  • Check to see if the Clearlake auto accident attorneys you are researching have taken cases to trial. One way to do this is to check their past settlements and verdicts page on their website. Ask them about their past cases if they do not have one on their website. Most lawyers will be more than happy to share their successes with you.

If a lawyer hesitates to discuss past verdicts and settlements, simply pass them by. If a lawyer only has settlements on their resume, it may mean they are only comfortable negotiating with insurance companies. It may also mean they do not have the financial means to take cases to trial, which could significantly limit your compensation.

What if the final settlement offer is unfair? A single case can cost upwards of $150,000. If we take your case on and the insurance company is not fair, my office knows how to properly prepare for a trial, and I also have the financial resources to do it, if necessary.
