You should be on the same page with your attorney about your level of involvement in your case. Ask the prospective attorney whether you will be responsible for some matters, like obtaining your medical records, or whether the firm’s staff will handle that.
You’ll find that personal injury attorneys can handle much of their clients’ cases with minimal disruptions to their lives. Oftentimes, that is preferable because it gives accident victims the chance to heal and relieves the pressure of haggling with insurance companies to hammer out a settlement. But if you want to be more involved, a skilled attorney will be able to explain how you can help.
