Representing Your Best Interests
When looking for a law firm to represent you after a motorcycle crash in New York, there are several important things to take into consideration. Having ineffectual legal representation is the last thing you want at a moment like this. You should contact several law firms to get a feel for how the process works and what each individual law firm can do for you. You should avoid firms who try to charge you for a consultation or firms that pass your case off to other lawyers for a commission. You should always speak to a lawyer about your potential case and they should be clear about what they can and will do for you.
Experience in New York Motorcycle Injury Cases
Your NYC motorcycle injury attorney should have significant motorcycle case experience as well. Many personal injury firms will accept any case they can without even having specific experience in that area. Other firms might have vehicle accident experience but lack the years of motorcycle-specific case knowledge. We have also seen clients who have come from other lawyers to our firm after finding that their own lawyers were biased against them for being involved in a motorcycle case.
Attorney Fees
While you can always pay upfront legal fees for a New York motorcycle accident lawyer, you should always be told about what will be owed from you for their services. Your lawyer should give you references for past clients in order to ensure that others have been satisfied with their representation. If your law firm is working your case on a contingent basis they should also be forthcoming regarding any additional fees or costs that you may incur as a result of your case.
An experienced and qualified lawyer should also have the resources available to handle extensive cases and investigations. They should have access to private investigators and other experts who can help build an effective case for you. Your lawyer's caseload should never be too heavy that they cannot effectively provide you with their complete attention.
