If you’ve suffered a physical or psychological injury at the hands of another’s negligence, you need personal injury lawyers in Toronto that you can trust. When it comes to selecting the right personal injury attorney, there are important qualities and characteristics to be mindful of when interviewing potential counsel.
Communication
The process of any civil case can vary depending on the scope of the case. Open and transparent communication is an essential quality that your lawyer should possess. Asking about their availability and whether any legal assistants or staff will be on hand to answer interim questions can help you determine if they can meet your expectations for representation.
Strategy
Personal injury cases in Canada can have any number of outcomes and it’s important that your personal injury attorney can craft a succinct legal strategy should your case go to trial. You want to ensure your lawyer can pivot their strategy if needed without missing a step.
Finances
Hiring counsel can be a significant financial undertaking and should be considered carefully when choosing from personal injury lawyers in Toronto. Asking your potential lawyer their expectations for payment, including legal fees and disbursements, can help determine if you’re able to afford their services.
Your lawyer will provide a contingency fee agreement which will explain their fee structure during your free consultation. Contingency fees can vary depending on the complexity of the accident and expected results. A comprehensive guide from the Law Society of Ontario is also available to all clients.
