5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Philadelphia Slip and Fall Lawyer (Part B)

Fees are calculated in different ways when it comes to your slip and fall accident in Philadelphia, with some lawyers basing it on the award before expenses are deducted and some basing it on the award after expenses are deducted. You should know how your lawyer will handle this.

You should also ask if the lawyer will charge an hourly rate or if there is a contingency fee, meaning you only pay if you win. If there is a contingency fee, you will need to ask if there is a fixed percentage that is taken from it.

The expenses will vary, depending on whether or not you settle the case or go to trial. Ask your lawyer to provide estimated expenses on both scenarios. Be sure that you completely understand the fees and expenses that are required before hiring him or her.

Who will entirely handle my case?

Ask your lawyer if he/she will personally be taking care of your case or if other legal experts will be. You should know who to contact with questions regarding your case and how often you can expect to receive updates.

What is my gut saying?

Ask yourself if you feel comfortable with the information you have received. Do you feel the lawyer can be trusted and that his or her advice and guidance is reasonable? You should be able to walk away from your meeting having a good sense as to whether or not this is the right Philadelphia slip and fall lawyer for your case.

Injuries from a slip and fall accident in Philadelphia can be serious. They can lead to expensive medical treatment and care that may be recoverable if the property owner was negligent. Hiring the right lawyer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.
