Questions to Ask an Injury Lawyer in New Hampshire

Thursday, August 5, 2010 by Richard D. Chamberlain

When an accident leaves you injured, you may not know where to turn to get the help you need. You may be able to receive compensation for your injuries, but you need the aid of a qualified injury lawyer in New Hampshire. You have to ask some tough questions to fight the right attorney.

Some questions to ask an injury lawyer in New Hampshire before hiring him or her include the following:

What accident injuries have you previously handled?
How do you handle legal fees?
Do you offer contingency fees?
Do you offer payment plans?
Is there any way to lower the expense of my claim?
Will you be the only attorney working on my case? Can I meet any other attorneys involved with my claim?
How many cases similar to mine have you handled? What were the results?
How often do your cases go to trial?
Do you foresee any problems with my case?
How long do you think it will take to take my claim to its conclusion?
Do you have any references?

Meeting with an injury lawyer in New Hampshire

When you meet with a potential attorney, he or she should answer your questions efficiently and to your satisfaction. You may want to consider a different lawyer if he or she does not address your concerns.

While many New Hampshire injury lawyers handle cases on a contingency fee basis—meaning you pay nothing until they collect damages for you—you should still try to get an estimate of the costs you may face. You do not want any surprises and your questions prevent this from happening. Find out about your attorney’s areas of experience and credentials as well.

Perhaps most importantly, see if you are comfortable with the attorney. You need to work with someone you can build a good working relationship with, not someone who makes you uncomfortable or anxious.
