Personal Injury And Negligence Law

New lawyers sometimes are too excited to accept cases that they run the risk of being

called the "Ambulance Chasers." The following pointers are adapted from Jay G. Foonberg's book How to Start and Build Law Practice:

As you conduct an initial consultation with a potential client or their family members, encourage them to utilize your services as frequently and as quickly as they can. It is important to get an early start on your representation of their interests, and you should make clear to them the critical nature of your early involvement in their matter. Reinforce with them that they should never talk about factual details or potential fault or negligence concerning their case with anyone other than the police until they have discussed things with you.

Third-party witnesses must be interviewed as soon as. The scene of the accident must be reviewed and photograph before it is altered. Remind your client that torn and blood-stained garments or other evidences must not be thrown away at the hospital. Bruises and other physical manifestations of the injury must be photographed immediately.

Any ancillary or disinterested witnesses need to be interviewed as soon as practicable. Accident sites need to be visited and documented photographically before any changes, repairs, or distortions occur. Be sure that the client understands not to allow damaged, dirty or blood-stained clothing or evidence to be discarded by medical responders. Any outward evidence of injuries, including bruises, scratches and the like, must be chronicled in photographs right away.

Remind the client orally and in writing that "based on the facts as they appear in the present time, it appears that he has a meritorious case. That is why, it is impossible to value the case until the full extent of personal injury, the need for treatment, damages, and losses are known.
