Benefits Of Seeking A Consultation With A Florida Personal Injury Attorney
After suffering injuries in an accident because of the negligence of another party, many people hesitate to contact a personal injury attorney because they fear it will cost too much to talk to the attorney. Many people do not know that personal injury law firms like The Pendas Law Firm offer free initial consultations to prospective clients. We understand the importance of sitting down with a personal injury attorney after suffering injuries and damages because of a negligent party, and you should not hesitate to contact us.
Apart from the fact that you don’t need to pay anything to consult with a personal injury attorney, there are many other benefits of seeking a consultation with a Florida personal injury attorney. Below, we look at some of the top benefits of seeking a consultation with a Florida personal injury attorney.
You Can Learn About Personal Injury Laws
You most likely don’t know a lot about Florida’s personal injury laws. The initial consultation with a Florida personal injury attorney lets you learn what you don’t know about the state’s laws. For example, during your consultation with a personal injury attorney, you can learn about the state’s statute of limitations for personal injury cases. You can also learn about the state’s comparative negligence rule during the consultation with a Florida personal injury attorney.
You Get Advice Without Obligations
Firms like The Pendas Law Firm offer prospective clients a free, no-obligation consultation. This means you are not required to retain the services of an attorney from our firm after a consultation. When you visit us for a consultation, you can receive free legal advice about your case without feeling pressured to hire an attorney from our firm after the consultation.
You Can Assess a Potential Legal Representative Before Hiring Them
A free consultation with a personal injury attorney allows you to assess the attorney before deciding whether to hire them. If, for example, you determine during a consultation that an attorney is inexperienced or lacks empathy, you can continue your search since you have not yet made a commitment.
You Can Get Your Questions Answered
You undoubtedly have a lot of questions regarding your personal injury case. For example, maybe you are wondering whether you must go to court, what damages you can seek, or how long your case will take. Sitting down with a personal injury attorney during the initial consultation can allow you to get the answers to your questions.
TIP: Before your consultation with a personal injury attorney, write down all your questions. This will help you avoid forgetting to ask crucial questions during the consultation.
Personal Injury Consultations Have Your Best Interests in Mind
Apart from legal advice, personal injury attorneys provide helpful tips to prospective clients during the initial consultation. This is because personal injury attorneys have accident victims’ best interests in mind.
Some tips personal injury attorneys provide during the initial consultation include;
- Documenting the injury and how it has affected daily activities and overall quality of life
- Ensuring you follow your doctor’s orders and attend all appointments
- Preserving evidence
