Sometimes people need to change lawyers. Regardless of the reason why, clients have the right to change lawyers whenever they want. There are different reasons to change personal injury lawyers. Here are some of them.
Sometimes the reason a client switches to a different personal injury lawyer is because of poor communication on the part of the attorney. If the client is not updated on the status of the case he may feel that the attorney is not hard at work on the client’s case. Or, if the client’s phone calls are not returned, the client may feel that his case is not very important to the lawyer.
Another reason to change personal injury lawyers is due to a lack of results. If the attorney is not fighting hard for the client, and the settlement offer is too low, the client may look to find an attorney that will fight the case in order to obtain a fair and reasonable settlement offer.
For example, if it is a car accident claim, and the attorney is not willing to file a lawsuit in response to a low offer, then it may be time to hire a car accident attorney that is willing to file a lawsuit and truly fight for the client’s case.
It is not just personal injury clients that are allowed to change lawyers, but all other clients, including workers’ compensation clients.
