In today’s podcast, Richard discusses the process in choosing a lawyer for your cycling accident. Richard L. Duquette will discuss what to think about when Picking a Great Bike Injury Lawyer.
Qualifications
In today’s age of technology and social media, lots of lawyers look great! Richard cautions you to dig deep. The flashy website might not equate to the experience necessary to win your case.
Look for a lawyer that has been in practice at least 20 years and with a good reputation.
Has the lawyer been loyal to victims or has he switched over from the insurance side? Does he represent the little guy or big guy?
Specialized Training
See if your lawyer has taken some advanced or specialized training in representing cyclists and everyday people. You want to avoid a mill type lawyer that settles by volume.
Look for a lawyer that will fight for you and is willing to go to trial. You want an attorney that has trial experience that knows the courts, knows how to try a case and can connect with the jurors.
Connecting with your Attorney
Does your lawyer connect with you the cyclists? It’s important to find a lawyer that knows the nuances of cycling and how it relates to your individual lifestyle.
