Do You Really Need a Lawyer?
On top of whatever situation you’re dealing with, hiring a lawyer can seem like a daunting task after you’ve experienced a serious injury. But in the end, it’s probably one of the best decisions you’ll ever make.
To ensure a smoother process, we’ve compiled a list of questions for you to ask yourself as you search for the best legal representative who will fight in your corner.
Question 1: What’s your comfort zone?
This is the first question you should ask yourself. Answer honestly. Even if you’re deeply familiar with how the legal system works and you’re comfortable with legal terminology, the laws that govern your case are likely convoluted and complicated. If you feel like you’re in over your head, consider hiring an experienced professional who has the training and experience to handle your legal issue comfortably and competently, so you don’t have to worry about it.
Question 2: Is someone being sued?
Whether you want to sue or someone else is suing you, often these cases are messy and have too much at stake not to hire a professional. When your financial future and recovery is on the line, don’t leave your case up to chance.
Question 3: Has someone been seriously injured?
From car accidents, to workplace injuries, to being bitten by the neighbor’s dog, getting professional legal advice for catastrophic injuries is often the best route to take. An attorney can walk you through the process of receiving compensation for your serious injuries.
Question 4: How do you find the right lawyer?
Consulting your online resources like Google search and social media is a good place to start, but we also recommend asking friends and family members. This way, you’ll have referrals from people you trust. You can also contact your local bar association to get a list of qualified, certified attorneys near you.
If you have other questions or need more in-depth answers, please don’t hesitate to reach out to a local workers’ compensation or personal injury attorney. If you were injured in Denver, Aurora, Littleton or elsewhere in Colorado, contact The Babcock Law Firm for a free consultation.
