An injury caused by another party can be both unexpected and traumatic. Most individuals caught in this quandary may be left shell-shocked as well as paralyzed when it comes to knowing what to do next, as the average American hasn’t had close-up contact with the law, except for those ads we see on TV on a daily basis, ad nauseam. Entrusting your personal injury lawyer with your claim is something that requires a leap of faith, and oftentimes, this leap ends in injuries that you did not anticipate.

When Your Personal Injury Lawyer Becomes a Liability

Not all attorneys are built equally, and cases of incompetence, lack of diligence and poor communication have become all too common in the personal injury world. A lawyer who does not work hard and efficiently on your case is something that can jeopardize your claim and make it more difficult to recover compensation so you can rebuild your life, and in some instances, lead to the outright dismissal of your claim. In this article, we will explore some indicators or red flags that point to the fact that your lawyer may not be working hard on your case, and consequently help you understand how these signs may not bode well for you, and what you should do next.

Ultimately, the goal is to ensure that we help guide you down the right path by offering timely legal services so you and your family can get on the road to healing, justice and compensation in as little time as possible.

Is Your Injury Lawyer Not Working Hard Enough? Warning Signs

Here are some warning signs your lawyer may not be working hard enough:

Not Returning Calls

Personal injury attorneys are always inundated by caseloads as well as phone calls, but the reality is that prompt and reliable communication is the foundation of a strong attorney-client relationship. If your emails and calls often end up unanswered or going to voicemail, this should be a worrying trend and may signal poor organization as well as the lack of prioritization when it comes to your case.

Lack of Updates

As your case progresses, you should receive updates on what is currently happening with it. If you have to always reach out to glean information on the same and if you only get snippets and morsels and not a comprehensive update, you should sit up and pay attention. A diligent lawyer will keep you updated in a proactive manner regarding the status of your case such as deposition or trial dates, settlement offers and so on.

A lack of updates or poor communication may signal a lack of transparency or the possibility that your attorney is not invested in your case.

Delays in Filing Motions or Papers

Legal documents must be filed in a timely manner in order to meet certain deadlines which are often immovable. To this end, if your personal injury lawyer is always missing crucial filing dates such as discovery requests, filing of the initial complaint and so on, your case may be jeopardized and even thrown out in some cases. A lawyer who always delays in filing motions or papers may be a chronic procrastinator, disorganized or even incompetent.
