Seeking Legal Counsel In A Premises Liability Claim
It’s important to seek out legal counsel who’s particularly experienced with premises liability claims. This is a unique area of the law, and an experienced attorney won’t be able to maximize your compensation like one who focuses on these cases.
As you begin your search for a personal injury attorney exceptionally skilled at premises liability claims, keep the following things in mind:
- How many slip and fall cases they’ve handled.
- Whether they’ve actually tried any cases in court.
- Their success rate throughout the course of their career.
The Affordability And Significance Of Personal Injury Representation
Lawyers are notoriously expensive, but fortunately, this isn’t a concern in personal injury cases. The vast majority of personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means you won’t have to pay them anything out of your own pocket. They won’t charge you an hourly rate or anything like that.
Instead, your attorney will receive a percentage of whatever it is that you either settle for or are awarded after a trial, depending on the direction your case takes. This payment structure is truly a win-win, facilitating the incentivization of attorneys to do anything and everything they can to maximize the total amount you receive in compensation, while adding virtually no financial burden on you. Maintaining this low legal barrier to entry is immensely important. Without a lawyer, you’re likely not going to end up with the outcome you deserve or need.
If you’re not a trained lawyer, which you likely aren’t if you’re reading this book, you won’t be able to properly understand the law governing your case. This isn’t a reflection of your capability at all; it simply comes down to the fact that you are not educated and trained in this area, nor do you have the time to do so for your case, especially when you’re already focused on recovering from your injuries. An attorney offsets this natural disadvantage you’d otherwise face.
An attorney will also do more clerical things like file legal documents. While you may be more than capable of doing this, you likely won’t know what documents you’ll need to submit, where to retrieve them, when to submit them, and any necessary nuances. Beyond this, you’re unlikely to understand the procedures that your case is subject to. These practical matters over and above understanding the letter of the law are in some ways just as important.
I have personally handled dozens of premises liability claims over the course of my career in both state and federal court. Over the decades, I have been very successful in almost every case I’ve handled involving premises liability. Few other attorneys have that sort of track record. I am convinced this truly distinguishes my practice from others.
