What to Look for in a Motorcycle Attorney

If you have never hired an attorney, do not give up hope that you can find a good and competent one. Here are some helpful tips.

Look for an attorney with experience settling and litigating motorcycle cases. This is the most important factor when selecting any attorney. See our Track Record of documented success. Notice I did not say an attorney that rides motorcycles. While many of our attorneys ride and a few raced in their younger years, that is not the criteria for selecting a good lawyer.

You can be a flake and still ride. Anyone can say they ride and use a few buzzwords. A good lawyer has to have experience in this specialized and highly technical area of personal injury cases. Beware of the lawyer that seeks your favor, not on their reputation or ability to handle these specialized cases, but on their ability to show you they are just like you. Truthfully they have little in common with you.

Make sure that your attorneys have Litigation capability. Nothing damages settlement of a case more than an attorney who does not know what he or she is doing and later has to withdraw because he or she is in over their head. See Great Reasons to Hire an Attorney for Your Motorcycle Case.

The best way for an attorney to settle your case is to demonstrate the success likely to occur later in the case. This involves preparation and anticipation of the problems that may arise. To anticipate problems that will arise an attorney has to have experience, and also must understand how the trial process works. In this way, an attorney can start collecting admissible evidence and avoid destroying crucial proof.

The competent attorney will collect evidence early, see Witness Identification and Statements in Motorcycle Accident Collisions, and coordinate treatment and doctor opinions. See our Motorcycle Injury Guide. Interview witnesses to preserve testimony and protect evidence. Don't give recorded statements or broad medical authorizations, See Five Winning Tips to Settling Your Motorcycle Accident Case. Ask the attorney their highest personal verdict at trial. If they cannot tell you a decent case, then they are not the right attorney for you in a serious motorcycle accident.

Pay close attention to the details requested and the organization of the attorney when interviewing. Did the attorney keep your appointment? Did he write down the important information from your prior calls? Does he have a competent staff that wrote a memo of your prior conversation? These are all good indicators of a competent attorney.
