Types of Serious Injury Accidents We Handle

Accidents happen, and sometimes, accidents cause victims to suffer serious injuries. Our law firm works with victims of accidents to pursue compensation for their damages through personal injury claims. We handle a variety of severe personal injury cases in Rio Linda, such as the following:

Why Work with a Lawyer on Your Injury Case?

When searching for the right personal injury lawyer to help you pursue your case, you will find many firms in and around Rio Linda. Not all personal injury law firms can provide the same quality of customer service or dedication to your claim. For example, you should see testimonials from previous clients on a firm's website. Client testimonials are a way to see what clients think about a firm.

Social media has changed how we interact with prospective service providers. Although the client testimonials on a firm's website can provide insight into clients' experiences with that firm, they might not tell the whole story. Rating sites like Yelp, Avvo, and Google can show unbiased reviews of a law firm.

You should also find a law office that has experience taking claims to trial. Although many personal injury claims are settled out of court, sometimes, this is not possible. In cases like this, going to trial may be necessary, and if so, you need to find a lawyer who has experience going to court for his or her clients.

How to Select a Personal Injury Lawyer

This video outlines the factors you should look for in a prospective personal injury lawyer.

A few things to keep in mind when interviewing prospective lawyers are:

You should feel comfortable speaking openly with your lawyer. If a lawyer makes you feel intimidated or like you are wasting his or her time, he or she is not the right lawyer for you.
The attorney you choose should have trial experience. Otherwise, what will happen if your case needs to go to trial?
What is the lawyer's history of case successes? Find out the types of cases he or she has handled, and the settlements his or her clients have received; and
Your attorney should prioritize personal injury law by focusing solely on it rather than simply dabbling.
