One of the questions that people seeking to retain a personal injury lawyer should be asking is how much trial experience the lawyer has.
When you are injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you are entitled to be put back in the position, as nearly as money can, that you were in before the accident.
You were a responsible driver. You did nothing wrong. Now you have lost your independence and to some extent are left to fend for yourself.
How long each case is entitled to take and the court services it will get with be “proportionate” to the amount at issue in the case (the money involved), importance of the issues in dispute and the complexity of the proceeding.
