Choosing an attorney to handle your bicycle accident case is a big decision. Before you choose to hire the first attorney you find who handles bicycle accidents, or pick the attorney with the most commercials airing during your favorite show, you should sit down with the attorney to make sure that the relationship will work and that the attorney will be the best one to handle your San Francisco bicycle accident case.

Your first step should be finding out what types of personal injury cases your attorney handles. Does he or she ever handled a bicycle accident case in the Bay area? Not all accident cases are the same, and if you were injured in a bicycle accident case, it’s important to find an attorney who’s handled similar cases in the past and gotten positive results for the clients. You should also find out how long the attorney has been working on personal injury cases in general.

You should also find out the fee as part of choosing the attorney. Most bicycle accident cases are handled on a contingency basis, which means that the fee is a percentage of your award. Ask the attorney what his or her percentage will be, what expenses can be expected as part of the case, and how those expenses will be paid.

You will also need to find out how long the attorney thinks the case will take. You will want to choose an attorney who will devote the required amount of attention to the case, and who isn’t looking for a quick buck. You may want to also ask how often you’ll be updated on the status of your case.

Finally, you will want to choose an attorney with whom you feel comfortable. You may have to spend a lot of time with the attorney, depending on how your case is handled, and you want someone with whom you have a good working relationship.
