Houston Car Accident Attorney gives tips on: How to hire the best lawyer for your car accident case.

First, ask the SEVEN CRITICAL QUESTIONS you should ask any lawyer before hiring them for any type of personal injury case.

If it is obvious that the other person caused your car wreck (for example, if the investigating officer reported it was their fault), then you probably don't need an attorney with experience handling more complex car crashes. In this type of case, the main issue that will be litigated is the nature and extent of your injuries, so focus your questions to the lawyer on his or her experience handling cases involving injuries similar to your injuries.

However, if your car wreck is more complicated, you need to ask the lawyer about his or her experience in handling disputed liability car accident cases. Cases where fault is not fairly obvious are more difficult to handle, and you want to make sure your lawyer has been down that road before.

In this regard, ask the attorney about liability experts they have hired in prior car wreck cases. Many times, where liability is not clear, the lawyer must hire an expert in "accident reconstruction." These experts literally "reconstruct" car crashes. This is necessary in more complicated crashes in order to determine who is truly at fault for causing the crash. In some of the more complicated liability car accident cases, the attorney will have to hire a "biomechanics" expert. These experts analyze the crash and may conclude when and how certain injuries occurred in the crash, which is often relevant to the liability case.

In cases involving very serious injuries, such as fatal injuries, paralysis, brain injuries or burn injuries, the lawyer must evaluate whether there is a "defective product" case. Often, a defect in one of the vehicles involved in the crash caused the crash, and you need a lawyer qualified to evaluate that aspect of the crash. If there is indeed a defective product case, you need to ask the lawyer about their experience in handling this type of cases. Defective product cases are much more difficult, complicated and expensive than ordinary car crash cases, and you need an attorney who knows what they are doing.

Finally, ask the lawyer to show you a list of their results in car accident cases. You want to know how your lawyer has done in the past on the same type of case he or she may handle for you.
