Picture this: you’ve taken on a lawyer who has promised to represent you after getting injured in an auto accident, slip and fall, construction site accident, factory injury or after having bitten by an aggressive dog off their leash.

The initial consultation and discovery goes well, but a few weeks later, you realize that the lawyer isn’t who they told you they were: they start not picking up your calls, ask that you meet them and they run late and even not show up and instead shunt you over to a legal assistant or paralegal, is dismissive of your concerns, doesn’t provide you with transparent information regarding the progress of the case, and is generally a no-show on all aspects of your personal injury claim.

This can not only be disheartening, but it can spell doom for your claim, whereby you may not receive a payout that’s in line with your injuries, or your case can completely collapse. Some instinctive clients may choose to take over and actually do something about the holes on the boat before it’s too late, while wondering – “can I change my injury lawyer if I am not happy with their performance?” The answer to this burning question is a resounding YES, and at McCready Law, we welcome every doubtful and stressed client who’s been given the runaround or tumbled through one too many spin cycles with their current injury lawyer – read on to find out how exactly facilitate this vital switch.

Are you looking for the best countrywide injury lawyer? Please call us NOW at (314) 481-63338 to learn more about your legal options for justice and compensation. The experienced injury lawyers at McCready Law bring to the table over 90 YEARS of stellar legal experience, where we’ve helped tens of thousands of injured individuals seek compensation after getting injured by the negligent actions of other individuals or large corporations.

Over the decades, we’ve been able to recover over $260 million in compensation for our clients and counting, and our massive success can be attributed to a number of factors such as personally handling all claims from start to finish; by contrast, most law firms simply hand over claims to legal assistants or paralegals who may not have the litigation or case law experience to assess and process a claim, something you will find in most law firms who favor processing claims fast at the expense of the client and the outcome.

We also work with top, nationwide experts in the medical, forensic science, accident reconstruction, and accounting fields to come up with a case replete with objective evidence that demonstrates causality or fault that can stand up to scrutiny, helping raise the chances of you getting the maximum allowable compensation by law. We’re also not afraid to litigate, having experience in the same as well as the resources and expertise to take a case to court and win – other law firms simply engage the insurance company in fast negotiations which usually end in the client getting shortchanged and receiving a paltry settlement.

In addition to running a bilingual firm (hablamos Español), we take on all claims on contingency fee basis, and what this means is that there are ZERO UPFRONT FEES for the duration of the processing of the claim, as we only levy our fees at the end of the suit, and only if we’ve recovered compensation on your behalf. If you or a loved one got injured due to the negligent actions of another party, please give us a call NOW at (314) 481-63338 to learn more about your legal options for justice and compensation – our intake team is standing by.

Why Clients Become Unhappy With their Injury Lawyers

Here are some of the most common reasons why clients become unhappy with their lawyer:

Poor Communication and lack of Responsiveness

A breakdown in communication may leave a client feeling as if they’re in the dark. Unanswered calls or emails, lack of updates regarding significant developments in their case, communication that is filled with legal jargon, and feeling as if your case is just one of many and lacking in personalized attention may make many clients feel like flying the coop

Disagreement on Case Valuation or Strategy

Your attorney may push for a lower settlement in order to quickly close the case and move on, or you may feel as if the attorney isn’t fighting hard enough against aggressive insurance companies, and even feeling like your injury lawyer may not have a full understanding of the extent and impact of your non-economic damages such as chronic pain, emotional distress, loss of enjoyment of life, all of which are compensable.

Perceived Lack of Progress or Delays

You may become frustrated when your case starts experiencing unreasonable delays or stagnates where there is no update on what is happening as weeks or months pass. In addition, you may worry about your lawyer missing urgent deadlines, or that they seem to be taking a reactive rather than a proactive stance with every step of the legal way.

Yes, You Can Switch Injury Law Firms – Here’s HOW!

Despite all these and other issues, you can ABSOLUTELY switch injury lawyers at any point in the process due to the contingency fee structure where you don’t pay the attorney a cent until after they’ve won the case on your behalf, with the lawyer typically taking anywhere from 30% to 40% percent of your settlement or judgement.

The switch is handled between your previous law firm and ours, and what usually happens is that your first attorney will have a lien on your case for the work they’ve done and any expenses incurred, such that they will be reimbursed for said costs once McCready Law settles your claim. In addition, the principle of “Quantum Meruit” applie,s whereby should your case settle, the fee is divided between your previous attorney and our law firm based on the amount of work each firm performed.

Lastly, it is important to stress that you will not pay two full contingency fees, and it remains the same (if it was 30% percent, it remains the same), with the percentage being split between the firms.
