How to Choose the Right Auto Wreck Attorney for Your Case

Topics in this post

An auto wreck can cause more than physical injuries—it can disrupt your entire life. Between medical bills, lost income, and dealing with insurance companies, the aftermath can feel overwhelming. In 2022, car crashes in the U.S. caused over 2 million injuries, according to the National Safety Council.

Hiring an attorney to represent and advocate for you can remove a large amount of the stress and work needed to protect yourself and recover what you deserve. But not all auto wreck attorneys are the same, so finding the right one for you is critical. Here’s how to make an informed decision.

Attorney Track Record

One of the most important things to think about when choosing a lawyer is their experience and success with cases like yours. If you’ve been in a car accident, your first meeting with an attorney is a great time to ask questions and see if they’re the right fit. For example, if your case involves a commercial truck, a multi-car accident, or an uninsured driver, you’ll want a lawyer who knows how to handle those tricky situations. It’s also a good sign if they have experience winning cases in court, so they’re ready to fight for you if needed.

At Lowe Law Group, we’ve helped many people get the money they deserve after an accident. So far, we’ve recovered over $265 million for our clients, and we’re ready to do the same for you and your family.




Attorney Communication Style

Clear communication is essential in any legal case, and your attorney should keep you informed every step of the way. From the first consultation, pay attention to how well the attorney listens to your concerns and explains the process.

Ask about their approach to communication:

  • How often will they update you on your case?
  • Will you primarily communicate with the attorney or their team?
  • Are they accessible for questions and concerns?

A responsive lawyer that provides regular updates can ease your stress during this challenging time. On the other hand, poor communication can leave you feeling uncertain and overlooked.

Attorney Fee Structure

Most car injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if you win your case. While this arrangement benefits you by reducing upfront costs, it’s still important to understand the details of their fee structure.

Key questions to ask include:

  • What percentage will the attorney take from the settlement or court award?
  • Are there additional costs for case-related expenses, such as expert witnesses or court filings?
  • If the case doesn’t result in compensation, will you owe any fees?

Look for Relevant Experience

Car wreck cases can involve unique factors, such as multi-vehicle collisions, uninsured drivers, or catastrophic injuries. The attorney you choose should have experience handling cases like yours.

For instance, if your accident involved severe injuries like spinal cord damage or traumatic brain injuries, you’ll want an attorney who knows how to work with medical experts to calculate long-term costs so you are compensated sufficiently. Similarly, if the accident involved a commercial vehicle, the attorney should understand the specific regulations and potential liability issues involved.

Research Reviews and Reputation

Reading online reviews and testimonials can help you gauge an attorney’s reputation. Look for patterns in client feedback about professionalism, case outcomes, and communication. Consistent complaints about poor service or lack of transparency may be red flags.

In addition to reviews, ask the attorney for references from past clients. Hearing directly from someone who has been through a similar accident and worked with them can provide valuable insights into what you can expect.

Consider Local Experience

Hiring an attorney with experience and knowledge of your state’s laws can provide a significant advantage. Auto accident regulations and insurance requirements vary from state to state, and an attorney familiar with your area will understand the specifics.

For example, in Utah, drivers are required to carry personal injury protection (PIP) coverage. This can impact how compensation is pursued after an accident. At Lowe Law Group, we understand the importance of local connections. Our teams specialize in the courts, judges, and opposing counsel in your area, which can give you an advantage during negotiations or at trial.

Assess Resources and Support

Auto wreck cases often require significant resources to build a strong case. Your lawyer might need to hire accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists, or investigators to build a strong case. Ask about the resources they have access to and how they use them.

For example, if your case involves disputed liability, an accident reconstruction expert could help prove what happened. If you’ve suffered serious injuries, medical professionals may be needed to demonstrate the full extent of your damages. A well-equipped attorney will have the connections and resources to handle these aspects of your case effectively.

Why It Matters

The lawyer you choose will have a direct impact on the outcome of your case. Insurance companies often try to settle for the lowest amount possible. A skilled attorney can push back, negotiate aggressively, and take the case to trial if needed.

Beyond legal experience, the right attorney provides peace of mind. Knowing someone is handling the details allows you to focus on your recovery.

At Lowe Law Group, we’ve helped countless clients navigate the aftermath of a car accident. Our experienced attorneys have the track record, communication skills, and resources to provide you low-stress healing and fight for the compensation you deserve.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident, don’t wait to get the help you need. Call Lowe Law Group today for a free consultation, and let us help you move forward with confidence.
