When to Call a Personal Injury Lawyer in Minneapolis, Minnesota

If you’ve been in a car accident, you may wonder when it is appropriate to call a lawyer, or if you even need a lawyer to resolve your claim. The truth is that not all car crash cases require the assistance of a personal injury lawyer. However, if your accident resulted in serious injuries or if you’re having difficulty receiving a recovery from your insurer, it may be wise to speak to a car accident attorney in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In fact, the Law Office of Martin T. Montilino offers a free initial consolation to clients so that they can explore their options.

According to Forbes, if you or a loved one has been seriously injured, you cannot rely on your insurance company to resolve your case. Insurance adjusters, while legally required to meet the terms of your policy, may try to find ways to pay you a lower settlement. Adjusters sometimes use formulas that place injury valuations in lower ranges. A personal injury lawyer who understands the technicalities of your policy and the laws governing insurance claims can help you fight for the best possible settlement allowed under the law. Your personal injury lawyer can review any settlement insurers make before you sign anything.

If you’ve been in a car accident involving serious injuries, determining fault can be complicated and may even require expert review. A personal injury lawyer qualified to handle your case can help protect your rights.

So, how can you find the best lawyer to handle your case? According to Forbes, you can ask friends and family and research lawyers on the web. Take a close look at your lawyer’s website. Does it offer useful information? Does the lawyer focus on the practice area where you need help? For instance, if you’ve been in a car accident, your divorce lawyer, unless they are a divorce lawyer in Harrisburg PA, probably won’t be able to handle your case.

Once you’ve picked a lawyer to work with, it’s important that you go into your initial consultation prepared with questions. You’ll want to find a lawyer who has handled and won cases similar to yours. During your initial consultation you’ll talk a little about your case and also discuss fees. Make sure you understand how your lawyer will charge you before you sign any retainer agreement. The retainer agreement is your contract to hire a lawyer on your behalf. Most personal injury lawyers charge on a contingency fee basis. Finally, you’ll also want to ask your lawyer what he or she believes the likelihood of recovery is and what he or she believes is the value of your case. Each of these answers will vary from case to case and depend on many factors. A qualified lawyer won’t offer guarantees but may be able to provide precedents similar to yours.

If you or a loved one has been hurt in a car accident, a Minneapolis, Minnesota personal injury lawyer may be able to help you answer some of the questions you have. The Law Office of Martin T. Montilino is a car accident attorney who works closely with victims and families to help them get the best possible recoveries for their case. If you’ve been hurt, contact us today for a free, initial no-obligation consultation.
