Expect Something Realistic
The best you can do is to talk to your car accident attorney, make sure you get all updates regarding your case status. Provide your car accident attorney with all the evidence you may have and all the relevant documents that you may have regarding your case.
Furthermore, if you hear about people who mention unusual things like the case should take no less than 2 years to get resolved or the case should be resolved maximum in 2 days. Don’t drive your thoughts on their opinions; keep yourself posted with the case updates and keep consulting with your lawyer in between.
What is the Time Period of the Case?
Well, there is no specific answer to this as we do not want to keep you under the roof of bluffing. These things solely depend upon the case type and the evidence available, multiple factors help you estimate the time of the case:
- Case Type
- Experience of Your Lawyer
- The Damage that has been Caused
- Other Party’s Contribution to the Damage
- Evidence
- Proper Vehicle Documentation
- Your Injuries
Switch Your Attorney
Well, one of the main factors that help you win a case is the experience and persistence of your lawyer. If you find your lawyer doing nothing except for giving you the runaround, it may be time to start looking for a new lawyer.
How to Find a New Lawyer?
- Most Attorneys for personal injury and car accidents work on contingency fees, meaning you do not pay anything out of pocket if your lawyer does not get compensation for you.
- Keep in mind a lawyer that works on your case may place a lien to recover fees they worked for. If and when your case settles, the prior attorney will request his share that he worked for.
- You can substitute your attorney at any time by communicating with your Attorney.
- You should find a New Lawyer First, before notifying your Prior Attorney of Substitution.
- Your new Lawyer shall Communicate with your Prior Lawyer as well.
Verify Your New Lawyer:
- Ask about his/her experience
- Ask about the type of cases they handle
- Search him online
- Search the attorneys’ reviews
- Have a consultation to get a feel for the attorney
Finding a good lawyer is difficult, make sure you research thoroughly before retaining an attorney. One good method to find a new attorney is asking family and friends.
