The Sheetz accident injury lawyer that you hire can have a huge impact on the success of your case. Therefore, it is very important that you take the time to interview several attorneys to find the best one who checks off all the qualities in a lawyer that you are looking for. This may seem like a lot of effort for someone who is hurt or in pain, but finding the right personal injury attorney can make a difference in your case as well as affect the compensation amount that you ultimately receive in the end.
What to look for when choosing a Sheetz accident injury lawyer
When researching and looking up various lawyers and law firms, you may feel lost and confused about what exactly to look for. This is normal as there are so many law offices that claim that they are available and can handle different types of cases. Here are five important factors to look for when researching and narrowing down your list of Sheetz accident injury lawyers:
- Location: The first factor that you should look for is the location of the law firm or attorney that you are considering. If your accident occurred in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, you would need an attorney who is located in these states. You also want to ensure that their office is easily accessible to you and that they can easily travel to the Sheetz location in which your accident took place. The last thing you want to do is choose a lawyer who is extremely far from your home because it will only cause you unnecessary challenges to commute to their office when needed.
- Experience: Another important factor to look for is the type of experience that the firm or lawyer has. For example, it would be a waste of your time to reach out to a law office or attorney who has never handled a Sheetz accident or something similar (convenience store accident, gas station accident). Therefore, you should briefly check out what type of cases they handle and see what type of qualifications their website mentions. At Kwartler Manus, LLC, we have handled several different Sheetz accident cases, such as slip and falls, car accidents, bicycle accidents, pedestrian accidents, food delivery accidents, and more.
- Reviews/ Testimonials: Next, it is essential to read some of the reviews and testimonials left by other clients. The reason why this is a good idea is because you want to see what other people truly thought about the lawyer, how they feel they handled their case, what their outcome was, and whether or not they would recommend them to others. This is vital information because most people who have used an attorney or law firm in the past are going to be completely honest about their experience, which can help you determine whether you should hire them for your case.
- Payment expectations: Since you are currently recovering from your accident and injuries, money is likely a very important factor during this process. Therefore, you should find out what the payment expectations are for the law office or lawyer that you are considering. At Kwartler Manus, LLC, we do not charge any fees upfront. Instead, you will not owe us a dime unless we win your case. This is usually beneficial to our clients as they never have to worry or stress about money when speaking or working with our team.
- Success rate: Lastly, do not forget to look deeply into success rates. While it is true that law firms and attorneys cannot be successful with every single case, you want someone by your side who is experienced, skilled, and competent when it comes to the legal system. Therefore, checking out success rates for law offices and attorneys will give you an in-depth look at their overall results when handling cases like yours.
Questions to ask during your interview/ consultation with a Sheetz accident injury attorney
After you have narrowed down your list of attorneys and firms to interview or schedule a consultation with, you will need to come up with a few questions that you plan to ask. Asking the right questions will help you make the best decision on who should represent your case. The following are a few examples of questions you may want to consider asking:
- Do you know the laws surrounding accidents that occur at Sheetz locations or other convenience stores/ gas stations?
- How many years of experience do you have?
- Do you work on a contingency fee basis or charge an hourly rate?
- How would you handle my case?
- Have you ever helped another client with a Sheetz accident injury?
