Finding a car accident attorney in Louisville to discuss your accident and injuries is always a good idea.  An initial consultation with most personal injury lawyers costs nothing—car accident attorneys in Louisville represent clients based on contingency—and if a lawyer does not settle or obtain a verdict on your behalf, you owe no fees.  At John H. Ruby & Associates, our lawyers care and want you to get the compensation you deserve.

What to look for in a car accident attorney

Determining the right lawyer to represent your case is an important decision.  You are dealing with a time factor because the sooner investigation begins the better chance your attorney has of locating witnesses and gathering vital evidence for a strong claim.  A statute of limitations, which is a deadline for filing claims, also exists, limiting your time to pursue a lawsuit.

Here are some tips about how to find a good car accident attorney:

• Experience  Make sure the attorneys you are considering handle car accident cases.  Some lawyers handle a few cases involving car accidents but do not have the experience and resources needed to get you the compensation you need.
• Trust  Seek an attorney you can trust.  You want a lawyer who cares about clients and provides client-oriented service.  Highly visible and renowned attorneys can at times be more caught up in their egos or the limelight than serving their clients.
• Availability  You want your attorney to be available to answer your questions and update you on case progress.  The inability to reach your lawyer, unreturned phone calls, and leaving messages with no real contact leaves you in the dark and can be frustrating.
• Personal referrals  Family, friends, or work associates can often recommend a good car accident lawyer based on their experience.  Ask them if the lawyer was honest and what results were obtained.
• Communication  Find an attorney who is willing to take the time to explain legal concerns clearly, so you understand the law and how taking certain actions affect your case.
• Professionalism  Determine whether the attorney can aggressively advocate for you while at the same time respecting your point of view and assisting you to make informed decisions.
