Slipped on Wet Floors or Wet Floor Tiles? Here are 5 Things to Ask a San Diego Injury Lawyer (Part B)
Injuries that can arise from a slip and fall accident on wet floors can be life-altering. If you hit your head on wet floor tiles, for example, the result could be traumatic brain injury. To preserve your legal rights, you can have a San Diego injury lawyer go over your case and determine issues of negligence.
More Questions to Ask When Consulting a San Diego Injury Lawyer
After you ask a potential lawyer about his or her background and philosophy, continue with the following questions:
- What do you think of my case? A San Diego injury lawyer won't be able to tell you exactly how much your case is worth, but he or she can tell if you've said anything that may be damaging or if your case appears to be legitimate.
- What are your legal fees? Most lawyers who represent victims who were injured after slipping and falling on wet floors or wet floor tiles will charge a contingency fee. This means the lawyer won't get paid unless your case wins. This alone gives them incentive to work hard on your behalf. Make sure you ask if the lawyer will charge a percentage of your settlement or by the hour. This will help you to avoid any surprises when your case ends.
- How will my case be handled? Ask if the lawyer you're speaking with will actually be handling your case. Find out if any other lawyers, paralegals or legal assistants will be working on your case, and whether the lawyer will keep open lines of communication with you.
You can end your meeting by asking the potential lawyers if they have anything else to share with you. This is their last chance to explain why they would be best for your wet floors case in a slip and fall claim.
