If you live in the Everett area and have been hurt, then yes, you should talk to a personal injury attorney. The key, however, is to find the kind of personal injury attorney Everett residents can rely on and trust to handle their case needs. As the attached video also points out, there are a few things you should know before hiring someone to represent you.
If you have suffered an injury and think you might have a case, the first step is to speak with an attorney, but that is also the first tip because it is always a good idea to consult with a few attorneys and not just hire the first person who answers the phone.
It is also a good idea to make sure you understand exactly how the fees, costs, and settlements are handled. The goal of every personal injury case is to win or get a favorable settlement. That also means you probably don’t want an attorney who is two days out of law school, so ask about how much experience they have handling personal injury cases. Last but not least, pay attention to how well you get along with the attorney, because there will need to be open and clear communication throughout the process, and that is easier when there is a good connection between the attorney and the client, which will hopefully lead to a good verdict in your case.
