Questions To Ask A Motorcycle Accident Lawyer

Find out the important questions you don't want to skip asking when you have an initial meeting with a motorcycle accident lawyer. Here are some of these vital questions.

• Do you have experience representing injured bikers? Motorcycle accidents are not the same as car accidents. Accordingly, it is important to ask a personal injury lawyer specifically about his or her experience representing injured motorcyclists.
• Why should I hire you? There are many personal injury lawyers in your area. Ask the lawyer you meet with to explain why he or she should be the one to represent you.
• What happens next? You should leave your initial meeting with a good understanding of what will happen next in your case, what you need to do, and what you can expect of your lawyer.
• Do you have a case good enough to take to court? here are instances where most cases will win some sort of compensation, but there are other times when a case isn't good enough to stand on its own in court. You'll want to ask your lawyer to be honest at this part and give you a realistic outcome for your case once it goes to court.
• What does the attorney charge for his/her services? A good motorcycle accident lawyer will only ever charge you based on a contingency fee, meaning the lawyer doesn't get paid unless there are monetary winnings from the case. Typically, you'll agree on a percentage of winnings to pay to the lawyer if your case is won before you sign a contract with the lawyer.
