The insurance companies and their lawyers know the firms that know how to properly handle accident claims, bring lawsuits, take depositions, select juries, and get big verdicts. They keep lists, and if your lawyer is not on the list it is likely to affect the value of your case.

2. Results. Have they consistently over a long period of time obtained large settlements and verdicts for their clients.

3. Reviews. What do their past clients have to say about them. Did they live up to their expectations, provide great personal service. Did they keep them updated throughout the case, keep them involved and push their case quickly?

The Top Reasons to Change Personal Injury Lawyers

1. All you hear is crickets from your present lawyer. They rarely if ever call you. They don't return phone calls. You never get to speak to the attorney, only a secretary.

2. You chose your present lawyer quickly without really researching how qualified they were. You picked your lawyer because they were a friend, a friend of a friend, a cousin, a friend's cousin, they did a house closing, drafted a Will, or took care of a speeding ticket. All the wrong reasons to hire a lawyer to handle your personal injury case.
3. Your file is collecting dust. They never keep you updated on the status of your case. You don't know if a lawsuit has even been filed. You don't receive copies of important paperwork to show what is happening. You feel like you have no control over what is going on. Time is passing and nothing is happening.

If this sounds familiar, the sooner you call us for a free evaluation the better. We will even check the status of your case on the court computer while we have you on the phone!  Call 1-800-669-4878 or visit www.1800NowHurt.com

Top 3 Reasons People are Afraid to Change Injury Lawyers


Can I Switch Lawyers?1. They think they will end up paying more in legal fees...FALSE
The lawyers will SHARE the 1/3rd legal fee, so changing lawyers will NOT decrease the client's share.

2. They feel guilty or bad that the prior lawyer won't get paid...FALSE
The new lawyer will reimburse the old lawyer for all of their expenses AND share the legal fee with them based upon the amount of work the old lawyer performed.

3. They think it will delay their case...FALSE
Changing lawyers is a quick and easy process that will not delay your case.
Remember, you only have once chance to get the results that you deserve. The right lawyer makes all of the difference.
