BP Claims: 3 Things To Ask Before Hiring An Attorney

BP Claims – Attorneys – 3 Things to Ask Before You Hire An Attorney to Help You Collect on Your Oil Spill Claim.

1. Do you have experience representing plaintiffs in mass tort lawsuits? Mass torts, in which many people are injured, are much more demanding than simple automobile accident cases. They often require law firms to spend millions of dollars and thousands of hours of case preparation. Some attorneys have a lot of experience handling mass tort lawsuits. Ask whether the attorneys you are consulting have mass tort experience.
2. Do I need an attorney? Some people really don’t need an attorney to help with their BP claim. For example, a person who lost $400 in wages doesn’t need an attorney. The cost of the attorney would exceed any benefit from having a lawyer. But a company or person with complex business or property losses may benefit from hiring an attorney. Most law firms handling large oil spill claims have experts (accountants, economists, etc.) who help them prove all of your losses.
3. What will you charge me? Most law firms handling oil spill claims work for contingency fees (where they are paid a percentage of your recovery when you actually collect your money). Ask whether the firm requires you to pay anything up front (most don’t). Ask whether the firm requires you to pay a fee out of your emergency claim payment. And don’t forget to find out how the expenses are handled (firms with large numbers of clients can spread expenses between those clients to reduce the share of expenses each client will pay).
