How Winnable is Your Case

The reality is that a car accident lawyer has a choice to decide take or reject your case. In making that decision the lawyer must assess the possibility of the case having success. This is mainly because a personal injury lawyer is paid only if they win the case when no retainer paid. Additionally, whether the lawyer is paid before or along the way they do not want to lose a case. As such, it is vital that all details about the accident be shared with the lawyer. This allows the lawyer to come up with the best possible strategy for winning.

Many details are examined and analyzed with regard to the evidence. Inspection is made on such issues relating to:

The lawyer must analyze this aspect first, because of what an insurance company may decide for the accident. There may be many of different levels of negligence involved or a clear responsible party.
