After an accident, you’ll likely hear plenty of advice from friends and family about how to handle your claim. Some may suggest going it alone to avoid paying attorney fees. What many don’t realize is that your chances of a favorable outcome and the size of your settlement are usually much higher with an experienced attorney on your side.
At Hillstone Law, our Los Angeles personal injury attorneys know how to stand up to insurance companies, represent you in court, and fight to maximize the compensation you deserve.
What to Look for in a Los Angeles Personal Injury Attorney
Choosing the right lawyer can make all the difference in your case. Here are key qualities to keep in mind:
- Experience and Proven Results – Look for a law firm with a strong record of success in personal injury cases and the confidence to handle complex claims.
- Direct Communication – Many attorneys hand off work to assistants without keeping clients informed. At Hillstone Law, our attorneys stay directly involved with your case.
- Availability – A good lawyer should be upfront about their schedule and committed to being accessible when you have questions or concerns.
It’s wise to consult with more than one attorney to find the best fit but after a serious accident, time is of the essence.
When Should You Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?
The best time to hire a personal injury lawyer is as soon as possible after your accident. Early representation gives your attorney time to:
- Conduct a thorough investigation
- Collect and preserve critical evidence
- Handle communications with the insurance company
- Ensure you meet all filing deadlines and statutes of limitation
Insurance companies are known to delay the process in hopes that your deadline to file will expire. Hiring an attorney quickly helps prevent this and strengthens your case.
You should contact a Los Angeles personal injury attorney right away if:
- You suffered serious injuries
- You are facing expensive medical bills
- Your injuries may affect your future earnings or quality of life
- The insurance company is refusing to cooperate or pressuring you to sign confusing documents
