Do I Have a Valid Claim?
One of the first questions to ask your personal injury lawyer will be whether you have a valid case. Your personal injury lawyer should review the details of your case during your initial consultation, and he should be able to tell you whether a settlement as a result of your damages is a reasonable expectation.
What is The Approximate Value of My Personal Injury Claim?
While a lawyer cannot even give you an exact value for your claim, they should be able to at least provide a range and explain how different factors could impact your settlement or verdict. They will also be able to explain different types of damages that are available depending on whether you pursue a settlement through your own insurance, a third-party insurer, or a personal injury lawsuit. Be wary of a personal injury lawyer who makes a claim that seems unrealistic or cannot be backed up with evidence of your case.

Have You Tried Cases Like Mine Before?
It is a good idea to ask your lawyer if he has tried any cases similar to yours in the past. For example, if you have been involved in a slip and fall accident, you do not necessarily want to work with a lawyer who has only tried medical malpractice or car accident cases.
