How do I choose a lawyer?

Most people have no idea where to begin in choosing a personal injury attorney.

Below are some of the things that we recommend that you consider when you’re trying to hire a personal injury attorney:

1. Does the lawyer actually have an office in Macon? From time to time, you may want to meet with the lawyer in person. In a personal injury case, the lawyer should want to meet with you. There will be documents that will need to be executed, and sometimes it is easier just

2. Be conscientious and aware about your difficulty reaching a lawyer at the early stages of your communications with his/her office. Communication will likely never be better than it is in the beginning of the case. If you have trouble reaching a lawyer for an initial consultation, that should be a red flag for you as a prospective client.

3. Be leery of any personal injury lawyer that is not willing to take the time to actually meet with you regarding your case. You should not be meeting with a paralegal to discuss your case initially. You should be meeting with a lawyer that can give you actual information and advice about your claim.

4. Do not be hesitant to speak with a lawyer candidly about his/her experience. Ask them how many jury trials they have actually tried. Ask them when they last tried a jury trial. You do not want to be near the end of your case and realize that your lawyer has little or no jury trial experience. This is important and you do not get a second chance at obtaining justice and fair compensation for your injuries.

Starting Your Macon Personal Injury Case

Dealing with the insurance companies after suffering an injury can be a minefield. It is important to note that the insurance company will not be working in your interests but in their own best interest. They will often use manipulative tactics to try to avoid paying a full and fair settlement.

If the at-fault party’s insurance asks you for a recorded statement or wants you to agree to a settlement in writing, you should consider speaking with a personal injury lawyer in Macon, Georgia immediately. Remember that anything you say or do could potentially be used against you and lower the amount of settlement offered to you by an insurance company.

Sessions & Fleischman can assist you with other insurance companies, as well as help you review your own insurance policy and coverage. A personal injury lawyer can also determine whether your insurance or the other driver’s insurance will cover any immediate out-of-pocket costs such as renting a vehicle while yours is repaired or in the process of being replaced. A personal injury lawyer can also help you when it comes to issues with your health insurance.

How do I file a personal injury lawsuit?

Filing a lawsuit without the help of an experienced personal injury lawyer can prove to be legally challenging and complex. Self-represented plaintiffs may be at a distinct disadvantage and risk having their claim compromised or even thrown out due to a minor technicality, such as a wrongly filed document submitted after a statute of limitations deadline.

Self-represented victims also run the risk of struggling with negotiations with the other side’s lawyer or legal team in court. If you suffered injuries or losses, learn how an experienced attorney at Sessions & Fleischman can help you with every aspect of your claim, including proving the negligence of another party. Your lawyer can also represent you aggressively in a trial, protecting you from any attempts to push the blame for an accident on you.

When you consider filing a lawsuit, bear in mind Georgia Section 9-3-33 prohibits victims from filing a personal injury lawsuit after two years from the date of your accident. There are traps in Georgia law that our personal injury law firm will work to protect you from.

Unfortunately, there is high percentage of people that wish to change lawyer in their personal injury case. Generally, the reason for the change is either of a couple of things: the lawyer has failed to communicate with the client or the lawyer has decided that the case should take a course of action that the client does not want. If you are in either of those situations or if you have found yourself asking “Can I change lawyers in my personal injury case?”, you deserve to – at minimum – consider your options.

Many people believe that simply talking to other personal injury lawyers can be harmful to their case. This is simply not the case. Even if your current attorney is aware that you are consulting with other personal injury lawyers, that should not be cause any difficulty in the relationship going forward. In fact, if a lawyer cannot handle a second opinion gracefully, one has to wonder how the lawyer will handle the pressures of litigation.

Seeking another lawyer’s opinion can really help you moving forward with your case, even if you decide to stay with your attorney. If your lawyer understands that you are considering moving the case to another lawyer, communication regarding the status of the case is likely to improve. Also, you can expect the lawyer to be more responsive to your concerns.

If you would like a second opinion from a qualified Macon personal injury lawyer, call Sessions & Fleischman today. We look forward to speaking with you regarding your personal injury or accident case.
