Have you or has someone you know been in a motor vehicle accident? These accidents are, unfortunately, all too common in the United States.

On average, for instance, car accidents disable or injure millions of Americans each year. Even worse, every year sees thousands of U.S. residents killed in accidents on the road. Distracted driving and driving under the influence are just a couple of examples to explain the causes of these accidents. These numbers are astonishing. And these numbers are expensive. About $250 billion is the price that car accidents cost the U.S. economy.

Along with these high numbers come big problems. Lots of them. The first thing that needs to happen if you are injured in an accident is to get legal help. You need to reach out and contact an experienced accident attorney who is familiar with cases where individuals are injured due to another person. This professional will be able to get you through the legal process. Here are three things to remember as you go about finding the attorney that is right for you.

Ask About Credentials

Make sure that you check out the accident attorney that you are considering. Check their professional background. Carefully examine their credentials. Be sure to look for an attorney who is licensed and in good standing.

Ask About Pricing and Fees

Make sure that you check out the cost and the pricing. What are the attorney fees for someone who has been hurt and injured as you have been? Are they in line with what other accident attorneys charge? You need to be sure of the terms of the rate you will be expected to pay. Ask if it is a one-time fee, for instance, or if you will be charged by the hour.

Ask About Reviews and Reputation

Make sure you talk to everyone. Ask around everywhere and be sure you can trust who you’re talking to. Then, speak with the accident attorney and find out if you feel that you will be able to trust this lawyer with your particular needs after being hurt on the job. Beware of promises or guarantees. Is the attorney empathetic? As you are looking around for an accident attorney, be sure to choose an experienced, solid lawyer who discusses the real facts of the case with you and offers real answers to you. This is what you deserve. This is what the lawyer is trained to do.

Nobody wants to be involved in an accident. But if it happens, an experienced accident attorney is trained and ready to help you. Many pedestrian, motorcycle and motor vehicle accidents with personal injury claims, actually about 95% to 96% of them, settle before even going to trial. This is a huge relief, naturally to the injured party or parties. So yes, the legal process is complicated, but an experienced lawyer will be able to manage it for you and work to get you the best, most realistic results that are possible. Make the call.
