Five Qualities to Look for in a Truck Accident Lawyer in Columbus

Large trucks cause thousands of accidents each year. Injured victims or their loved ones can hold negligent drivers or their employers liable for any injuries. Choosing the right lawyer to champion your case is one of the most important decisions you will make. How can you make this critical decision? What are the top qualities to look for in a truck accident lawyer in Columbus?

  1. Experience Handling Truck Accident Cases

Just as you would not go to a doctor who had never had a patient with your condition before, you should expect the lawyer who handles your truck accident case to have extensive experience handling truck accident cases.

Do not be afraid to ask prospective lawyers about their experience. In addition to finding out about experience, ask how those cases turned out. It is great if your prospective attorney has experience with truck accident cases; it is not great if they have never won any of those cases.

Ask if they can share any verdicts with you. You may also want to ask them for any client testimonials. If they are evasive, you may want to consider moving on to the next one.

If your prospective attorney does not have long-standing relationships with local experts, make sure they have had experience working with them at the very least.

  1. Familiarity with Large Trucking Companies

In many cases, the defendant in your case will be the trucking company, rather than the driver. Truck accident cases require a familiarity with how a large trucking company operates and the tricks it might play to avoid liability.
