Have you been in an auto accident or receive a personal injury driving down through sunny St. George, Utah? However it may have happened, if you need to hire a lawyer, it is important to know what you should and shouldn’t do to help build your case.
Do’s
When you need to hire a personal injury lawyer, be sure you are clear about everything you need help with. Do you simply need an opinion about things? Or someone to take on the entire case for you?
Take advantage of the free consultations. At Robert J. DeBry & Associates, we offer a 100 percent free case review. You won’t pay us anything unless your case is settled or won. This way, you don’t lose money, and we will guarantee that your case is worth it.
Make sure you ask all the questions you need to. Figure out what the cost will be in the long run. Keep a running list of questions so that you don’t forget any. Communicating with your lawyer is very important. The legal process can take much longer than you think. Call if you have questions or are looking for an update on your case.
Don’ts
No matter how serious the auto accident, don’t let anyone convince you to not call the police. Without a police report, it could be rather difficult to get a case and have your insurance cover the damage.
If you have been injured in an auto accident, do not move. Wait for help to arrive. The next call to make is to a legal professional to help you determine what to do next. Allow these legal professionals to help you through the many complicated steps. Don’t be misled by insurance companies. Let your lawyer take on the process for you.
Depending on the case, your lawyer should be able to guide you through what to do and not to do during your case. If you are in a personal injury case, do not settle until all of your injuries have been fully treated.
