Some
patients need the help of an attorney. Some will need a worker's
compensation
attorney, personal injury attorney or an attorney who specialized in
automobile
injuries. If you should need an attorney, I hope the following guide
will
assist you in your search.
QUESTIONS
TO ASK A POTENTIAL ATTORNEY
Could you
furnish a list of prior TBI clients? Keep in mind that this may be
considered
a breech of privacy and not allowed where you live.
How many
articles have you written about TBI? It is not necessaary that they
have
written one, however, it is a plus.
Would you
explain the process you follow in a case like mine?
Do you have
conulatants that are farmiliar with TBI?
What kinds
of problems might occur during settlement process?
How many
cases similar to mine have you been involved with in the last three
years?
How many of those cases have you won? What
were
the results of the last several cases you handled?
What percent
of your practice is devoted to cases like mine?
How many
TBI seminars or conferences have you attended in the last three years?
What are
your fees? Usually it is a contingency basis. This means the attorney
gets
paid when you do. This should be at 33% or lower to be ideal.
