How to choose a Jefferson County Auto Accident Attorney
You have been injured in an auto accident in Jefferson County, Kentucky and now you need the help of an auto accident lawyer to make your claim for compensation from the at fault party. You have the choice of hiring one of the heavy advertisers. The attorneys you see on television, billboards and buses. I believe what you will find from the heavy advertisers is that the attorney you see will not likely be representing you. Unless you have a very significant claim, a paralegal or secretary will be your main contact because the attorney is handling a high volume of claims.
Most of the attorneys advertising on television and elsewhere are bigger firms in terms of number of lawyers. In fact, one of them advertises themselves as the biggest and tells you that this is an advantage you should access for your auto accident claim. It is my opinion that hiring the biggest is to your disadvantage. Number one, the attorney you see on television will not be your attorney. Second, they will manage a high number of claims and have to employ lots of support staff to manage the claims, which means you will not have much access to a lawyer. Thirdly, my understanding is that most of the advertising lawyers charge a 40% contingency fee when the standard fee in the industry is one-third, which means the bigger firm will charge you a bigger fee.
The firms advertising on television and elsewhere seem to handle more than just auto accident claims. To me, it is important to hire a Jefferson county auto accident attorney who handles just auto accidents. The laws are complicated and you will want the advantage of having a lawyer that just practices in the area that you need.
Today's technology with cell phones and computers should allow auto accident clients to have easy and direct access to their lawyer. The high advertising lawyers tend to use more traditional communication through a firm phone number and most of the time you will be speaking with a paralegal or secretary. In contrast, the more effective Jefferson County auto accident attorney will give the client his cell phone number and the client will have direct and convenient access to their lawyer.
