6 Things to Look for in a Louisville Auto Accident Lawyer (Part A)

When you find yourself in need of a Louisville auto accident lawyer, it’s important to research your prospects first. The more capable your lawyer is, and the more comfortable you are in working with the firm, the better the chances are that you’ll have a successful Kentucky car accident claim.

You can start with referrals from friends or family members and check the Kentucky State Bar Association for credentials. You can also do an online search for lawyers in your area, as well as check the phone book for listings.

Once you’ve narrowed your search down to 3 for 4 prospects, it’s time to look more critically at their experience and their practice to determine which one would be the best match for you.

Experience and Background

One of the first things you’ll want to look at is the attorney’s experience. You’ll want to ask questions like:

• How many years have you been practicing law?
• What is your educational background?
• How many car accident cases have you represented?

Hiring an attorney fresh out of law school or a lawyer who has only just recently moved from another area of the law, such as bankruptcy or divorce, to car accident claims probably isn’t your best bet. The deeper their personal injury background experience is, the better equipped they’ll be to handle your case.

The Firm’s Legal Team

You’ll also want to look at the type of firm you’re dealing with. A firm can range in size from a solo practitioner to a huge multi-attorney practice. There are advantages to each type of practice and you’ll need to find the size that fits you.

Solo practitioners might be able to provide you with more one-on-one time, but larger practices generally have more team members and resources to assist your case.

When you contact a Louisville auto accident lawyer, ask who will be doing the bulk of the work for your Kentucky car accident claim – the attorney or the paralegals? You’ll want to know exactly who you’ll be dealing with and who to contact if you have questions during the run of your case.
