The opinions and advice of an experienced personal injury lawyer will help you maximize your recovery. Unfortunately, some people are too nervous about meeting with an attorney to even get the help that they need in these situations.
Meeting with a personal injury lawyer is not a scary proposition. When you decide to meet with a personal injury lawyer at Kennedy, Kennedy, Robbins & Yarbro, LC, here’s what you can expect:
Our First Meeting:
During your initial consultation, we’ll meet with you to learn about you and the specifics of your case, as well as your expectations regarding a potential lawsuit. It is also your opportunity to get to know us. Our lawyers and staff start earning your trust during this initial consultation. It is our goal to answer all of your questions and to help you feel that you understand the process and know what to expect.
Retaining our Services:
Our firm normally handles personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis. This requires us both to sign a contingency fee agreement, so that there is never any question about the amount of the fee or how it is calculated. Once you retain our services, your experienced personal injury lawyer begins to work for you. We will obtain medical records and bills, talk with potential witness and determine if any expert witnesses are necessary. We will discuss the case with you in detail, which involves open and honest conversations about your case and how you are healing from your injuries. Once we have fully investigated the facts of your case, our lawyers will begin to advise you about your options, which include settlement, mediation and trial.
Your Role in the Process:
The most important thing you can do is to follow the advice of your medical providers regarding your treatment and keep us posted as to the status of your recovery. It may be necessary for you to answer written discovery questions or to give a deposition, in which case we will work with you so that you can provide truthful and complete answers about your case.
Our Role in the Process:
Your personal injury lawyer will lead you throughout the process. We will answer your questions and make sure you understand the options available to you. Only you can decide how to finish your case and we will make sure you have all of the information necessary to make that decision, whether it requires trial or settlement. We will not make or accept any offers of settlement without your prior knowledge and permission.
