What Should You Look For In A Richmond Virginia Personal Injury Lawyer?
1. A lawyer who knows the insurance companies.
Wouldn't it be great if your lawyer had inside information about how the insurance company you are up against operates? How they defend cases? What makes them pay out the biggest settlements?
Our lawyers have over 25 years of experience working for insurance companies in the past. We defended car accidents, slip and fall, brain injury, and dangerous product cases on behalf of insurances compaines. Over the years, we gained invaluable knowledge about insurance companies. We know what strategies they use. We know how they defend cases. We know what they look at when deciding how much to pay towards a settlement.
And with this knowlege, we know how to fight them.
Now, we use our experience to represent injured persons against the insurance companies. If you are looking for a lawyer who has inside information about how to go to battle against the insurance company, give us a call.
2. A lawyer who will tell it to you straight.
People don't trust lawyers. A big reason why is because lawyers use vague or misleading language. For example, how often have you heard a lawyer ad say "we don't collect a fee unless you win!" Doesn't that give you the impression that they're offering something other firms aren't? Well, guess what . . . the "no fee guarentee" is true for pretty much every law firm that represents injured people. Law firms that brag about "no recovery, no fee" are trying to make you think they're different. But they're not.
We do our best to cut through the lawyer-talk when representing clients. We think an honest approach is best, and avoid giving our clients the impression that something is what it is not. We are candid with the client in the beginning of the case about our opinion of their case, what our strategy will be, and keep them updated as the case moves forward.
3. A lawyer who tries cases.
Don't all lawyers try cases? You may be surprised to learn that the answer is no. In fact, many lawyers never even set foot in a courtroom. There are numerous lawyers who push for their clients to take a settlement offer so they don't have to go to trial. And here's the thing: many times defense lawyers and insurance companies know which lawyers hesitate to go to trial, so they know that they can give a "low ball" offer and the lawyer will convince the client to take it.
Our lawyers have tried a lot of cases. For over 25 years we represented insurance companies in numerous trials in Richmond, Chesterfield, Henrico, Hanover, and the surrounding areas. You need to be represented by a lawyer that the other side knows is unafraid to take the case to trial. Often this will lead to a favorable settlement. But if your case has to be tried, you need to make sure that you have a veteran trial lawyer in your corner.
4. A lawyer who has been recognized by his or her peers.
