Choosing the right personal injury attorney is a crucial step in ensuring that you receive the compensation and justice you deserve after an accident. With numerous law firms available, it can be overwhelming to determine which attorney is best suited for your case. This guide can provide you with essential factors to consider when selecting a personal injury attorney.
1. Focused on Personal Injury Law
If you are interviewing an attorney, ask them these following questions:
- Have you handled cases like mine before? What was the outcome?
- How many cases like mine have you handled?
- Will you need to bring in another firm to help you?
- How many cases have you taken to trial or do you just settle every case?
Choosing the right legal representation is an important decision—especially in personal injury claims where the issues can be complex. At Bringardner Injury Law Firm, our practice is focused on personal injury and wrongful death claims. That is all we do. We try cases – and win. We apply our knowledge and experience to help clients understand their legal options and navigate the legal process.
2. Proven Track Record*
An attorney’s past performance can provide insight into their experience and ability to handle your case effectively. Since 2022, we have recovered some of the largest settlements in South Carolina, including a $17 million settlement for a DUI accident , an $11 million dollar settlement for a dram shop case, and a $4 million settlement for a truck accident– just to name a few. While no two cases are the same, and past outcomes cannot predict future results, we are able to demonstrate that we routinely obtain significant settlements for our clients.
3. Client Testimonials and Reputation*
Client testimonials provide meaningful insight into an attorney’s professionalism, communication, and results. Bringardner Injury Law Firm has received positive reviews from clients, highlighting their dedication, responsiveness, and successful outcomes. Our reputation throughout South Carolina underscores our commitment to client satisfaction.
4. Attorney’s Fees
Before hiring an attorney, it’s important to understand both the fee structure and whether the firm is the right fit for your case.
We will never send you a bill. Period. Bringardner Injury Law Firm offers free case evaluations*, giving potential clients the opportunity to evaluate their legal options and the attorney’s suitability without any financial commitment.
Like most personal injury attorneys, Bringardner Injury Law Firm operates on a contingency fee basis, meaning you don’t pay anything upfront, and we only gets paid if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf. This approach ensures clients have access to robust legal representation without the burden of having to pay anything out of your own pocket.
5. Personalized Attention
Every personal injury case involves its own set of facts and challenges. At Bringardner Injury Law Firm, we approach each matter with careful attention to the specific circumstances involved. Our team prioritizes communication and a thoughtful, individualized strategy based on the needs and goals of each client.
6. Accessibility and Communication
Clear and consistent communication is an important part of the attorney-client relationship. At Bringardner Injury Law Firm, the team makes it a priority to remain accessible and responsive to clients. Efforts are made to provide timely updates and address questions as they arise, helping clients stay informed throughout the legal process.
7. Resources and Support Team
Personal injury cases often involve many moving parts, including gathering evidence, reviewing medical records, and coordinating with outside professionals. At Bringardner Injury Law Firm, our attorneys work alongside a legal support team who assist in managing the details necessary to prepare each case. Selecting a personal injury attorney is a personal decision that can affect how your case is handled.
When considering your options, it may be helpful to look at factors such as the attorney’s focus in this area of law, communication style, fee structure, and whether an initial consultation is available. Taking the time to evaluate these elements can help you make an informed decision.
“Free case evaluation” refers to an initial consultation with no obligation. If we accept you as a client and an attorney-client relationship is established, “No fee unless you recover” refers to attorney fees that are contingent on recovery and calculated from the gross amount before expenses. If no recovery is obtained, the client will not owe an attorney fee. For ”Proven Track Record” and “Client Testimonials and Reputation” , every case is unique and past results do not guarantee future outcomes.
