Can I Change My Accident Lawyer?

CASE EVALUATIONS ARE FAST, EASY, AND FREE.

After suffering serious injuries in a car accident, you’ve been through enough. Filing a claim with the insurance company and preparing to go to court is a lot for accident survivors to handle after everything they have already endured. Injury victims have to have someone to turn to and count on during this difficult time in their lives.

Many accident survivors can turn to their car accident lawyer for help, reassurance, and confidence. But unfortunately, there may be times where you are not feeling confident in your legal representation. This is your life and your injury settlement on the line, and if your relationship with your attorney is poor, your compensation could also be at risk.

Below, we go into further detail about when it may be time to start searching for a new car accident lawyer to represent your best interests and the traits you should look for when choosing a top accident lawyer.

When You Might Need a New Car Accident Lawyer

There are many different reasons why you might find yourself in need of a new car accident lawyer. Hopefully, you are able to establish a solid rapport with your lawyer right from the start, but a brisk, boisterous, or aggressive car accident lawyer doesn’t always mean your lawyer is advocating for you and your rights.

If you suspect that your lawyer isn’t doing everything they can do for you, it may be time to start searching for a new one. Some of the reasons why you might need a new car accident lawyer include:

Missing deadlines
Lack of communication
Pressuring you to settle
Loss of faith or confidence in your representation
Sudden switch in rates
Not understanding what your lawyer says

What to Look for in a Top Car Accident Lawyer

You wouldn’t quit your job without having a new one lined up, and you shouldn’t fire your current car accident lawyer without having a new one first. When you’re searching for a new lawyer, you’ll want to be able to discuss your current situation so you can gauge how your new lawyer will take over your case.

You also want to be sure that you get a sense of confidence and assurance from your lawyer. You’re screening for competency, trustworthiness, and communication. These three traits can make or break any attorney/client relationship.

During your consultation, you should be prepared to ask the hard questions, like “What makes you different from other law firms?”, “How important is my case to you?”, and “Will going to court help me get the most out of my claim?” Doing so can help you avoid hiring another lawyer who isn’t a good fit to take on your car accident lawsuit.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
