After you have been involved in a serious Galveston car wreck, you need to talk to someone who is on your side, not the at fault person’s side. The insurance adjustor may sound nice and may tell you he or she is going to treat you fairly, but think about it, their job is to save money for their insured and their company, not pay you what your case is worth.
You need an attorney whose sole job it is to fight for you. Before you hire an attorney, however, you need to interview him and ask the tough questions. Not all attorneys are created equal. Not even all personal injury attorneys are created equal. Ask these questions to each attorney you interview and only after getting clear and honest answers to each question, should you hire him.
QUESTIONS TO ASK EACH PROSPECTIVE ATTORNEY:
1. Are you Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law;
2. Do you have professional liability insurance;
3. How many cases have you handled with this specific insurance company;
4. Will you let me talk to some of your former clients about your representation of them;
5. Am I going to deal with you or your legal assistant;
6. How quickly do you attempt to return phone calls;
7. How many cases have you taken to trial and what is your record;
8. What is your philosophy on resolving my Galveston car wreck case as quickly as possible for the most money as possible;
9. Have you published any books on my specific type of case?
