Before your initial consultation with a law firm concerning a personal injury accident, you should make a list of questions to ask the attorney to make sure your attorney is fully qualified to handle your individual case.
The attorney you select can make a substantial difference in the eventual outcome of your case.
Attorneys are normally reluctant to take over a case from an attorney who has already initiated a case in court because it is frequently very difficult to fix mistakes other attorneys have made after a case has been filed in court. A case can quickly become tainted by an inexperienced lawyer who makes decisions that can be difficult to undo at a later date. It is critical to hire the right attorney for your particular case.
The following is a list of questions for your lawyer:
- What percentage of your law practice is focused on personal injury cases?
- How many personal injury cases have you taken to trial and what were the results?
- Do other law firms refer personal injury cases to you?
- How much do you think my case is worth?
- How long do you expect it will take to resolve my case?
- Do cases like my case normally settle out of court?
- Do you foresee any issues or difficulties with my case?
- Will you be the attorney that is actually handling my case?
- Will you be referring my case to a different law firm?
- Will other attorneys from your office be working on my case?
- How often will I receive updates about my case?
- Will I be able to speak directly with the attorney working on my case if I have questions?
- Do you have the necessary time to devote to my case?
- Do you have the necessary staffing and financial resources to take on my case?
- Has your license ever been suspended or revoked? If so, why?
- What is your reputation in the legal community?
- What is your fee arrangement?

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to what matters most about your case and how we work.
What percentage of a law firm's practice should focus on personal injury?
Look for a firm where personal injury cases make up a significant portion of their practice. At Logeman & Iafrate, P.C., personal injury is our primary focus, ensuring we have the specialized knowledge and experience needed to handle complex cases effectively.
Why is trial experience important when choosing a personal injury lawyer?
Trial experience demonstrates an attorney's willingness and ability to fight for you in court. Insurance companies are more likely to offer fair settlements when they know your lawyer isn't afraid to go to trial. Our attorneys have taken numerous cases to trial with successful outcomes.
How long does it typically take to resolve a personal injury case?
Case timelines vary depending on complexity, severity of injuries, and whether the case settles or goes to trial. Simple cases may resolve in months, while complex cases can take a year or more. We'll provide a realistic timeline based on your specific circumstances during your free consultation.
What fee arrangement should I expect with a personal injury lawyer?
Most personal injury attorneys, including Logeman & Iafrate, P.C., work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay no fees unless we win your case. We'll clearly explain our fee structure during your initial consultation so there are no surprises.
Why is it difficult to switch attorneys after a case has been filed?
Once a case is filed in court, mistakes made by an inexperienced attorney can be difficult or impossible to undo. Deadlines may have been missed, evidence improperly handled, or strategic decisions made that limit your options. That's why choosing the right attorney from the start is critical to your case's success.
