Choosing a Woodbridge Auto Accident Attorney

When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident, you should seek the services of an attorney as soon as possible. A Woodbridge auto accident lawyer from Curran & Whittington can advise you regarding your rights and what compensation you are entitled to. In addition, an experienced attorney can help to ensure that your case is handled in a timely manner and can prevent you from making costly mistakes.

Some factors to consider

There are several factors to consider when choosing an auto accident attorney in Woodbridge. Your accident attorney should:

  • Work on a contingency basis. This means that you will not pay any attorney’s fees unless you recover damages from the driver at fault, or from his or her insurance company. When you do reach a settlement, the attorney then charges a percentage of your overall settlement for lawyer's fees.
  • Pay the costs of putting together your legal case. Your Woodbridge automobile accident attorney will pay for your legal expenses as they come up, such as:
  • Copies of police reports and medical records
  • Deposition fees
  • Court filing fees
  • Investigator fees
  • Expert witness fees
  • Office expenses
You reimburse the auto accident attorney for these expenses after you have reached a settlement. Your auto accident lawyer is taking a risk in paying these costs in advance. This is a good indication that he or she thinks you have a strong case.
  • Be experienced. Your auto accident attorneys in Woodbridge will have successfully handled hundreds of accident and personal injury cases over a period of many years.
  • Handle your case promptly. Your Woodbridge auto accident attorneys will commit to a speedy handling of your case at trial. Prompt action is required, because Virginia has a two-year statute of limitations on filing a personal injury claim. In addition, many car accident cases can be quickly brought to a satisfactory conclusion without going to trial, through an out-of-court settlement.
  • Take a team approach to meeting clients’ needs. A successful law firm leverages the diverse talents and experience of its attorneys to meet the challenges of each client’s unique accident or personal injury case.
