ATV Accident Legal Help
Whether you were operating an ATV or a passenger when it was involved in an accident, you may want to talk with a Lincoln attorney familiar with ATV accident law. As an owner or operator of an ATV involved in an accident you could be liable to for injuries to others and damage to property.
Most ATV Accidents Due to Human Error
“ATV” stands for all-terrain vehicle, which is a vehicle whose motorcycle-like operation can handle a wider variety of terrain than other vehicles and its extra wheels provide greater stability at slower. A good deal of ATV-involved accidents are due to driver’s inept handling of the vehicle. Those injured may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses and pain and suffering.
How an Attorney Can Help
An attorney can often resolve your particular legal issue faster and better than trying to do it alone. A lawyer can help you navigate the legal system, while avoiding costly mistakes or procedural errors. You should seek out an attorney whose practice focuses on the area of law most relevant to your issue.
Top Questions to Ask a Lawyer
- What is the usual process to resolve my case? How long will it take to resolve this?
- What are likely outcomes of a case like mine? What should I expect?
An experienced lawyer should be able to communicate a basic “road map” on how to proceed. The lawyer should be able to walk you through the anticipated process, key considerations, and potential pitfalls to avoid. Once you’ve laid out the facts of your situation to the lawyer, he/she should be able to frame expectations and likely scenarios to help you understand your legal issue.
How will an attorney charge me?
A reputable attorney will be very upfront about how he/she will charge you. The three most common fee structures that attorneys use to charge for their services are:
- Bill by the hour
- Contingent fee agreement
- Flat fee agreement
Depending on your specific legal situation, it’s possible that only one type of fee structure is available. For instance, criminal defense attorneys almost always bill by the hour. In a flat fee arrangement, an attorney accepts a one-time payment to help you resolve your issue. With a contingent fee agreement, the client pays little to nothing upfront and the attorney receives a percentage of the money recovered if you win your case.
