Choosing a Pedestrian Accident Attorney

Answer:

We got a call from someone the other day who was injured in a pedestrian accident. She had a good question, and that was how to choose an attorney that’s best for her. In choosing an attorney to handle a pedestrian accident claim, you want to make sure that you find someone that is focused on handling these types of cases and their core focus is injury cases and in particular pedestrian injury cases. You don’t want to hire somebody who handles a little bit of everything, the attorney that you know that handles divorces and wills and traffic tickets and those kinds of things. You want to find an attorney that’s core focus is on personal injury and in particular pedestrian injury accident.

You also want to find somebody that has experience and success in handling these types of cases. They will know how to work up your case. They will know how to present the case to the insurance carrier to get the insurance carrier to pay a fair and reasonable amount for your injuries. Most importantly, another thing you want to make sure you look for is a trial attorney. Not all attorneys are trial attorneys. Trial attorneys are attorneys who are experienced in taking cases to trial.

Not all attorneys are willing to take a case or even capable of taking a case to trial, so you want to make sure you find someone that is able to take your case to trial if the insurance carrier’s not willing to pay a fair and reasonable amount for your injuries. A trial attorney will work your case up from the beginning with the intention of taking it to trial if that’s necessary. Make sure you find somebody that is an experienced trial attorney to help you with your pedestrian accident case. If you have any questions about your pedestrian accident case, give us a call. We’d be happy to answer those questions for you.
