On the other hand, if the Real Estate Attorney has never handled a personal injury case and has exactly no background in tort law, then you would certainly be better off with an attorney with experience in personal injury litigation. If you ask the attorney to spell out his experience in this area of the law and find that he or she doesn't have the experience, then take your case elsewhere.

Your case is no more or less valuable simply because an 18-wheeler was involved, although commercial vehicles generally carry greater liability limits than passenger cars. What really counts is the extent of your injuries and damages and the degree of fault in the other driver. But one thing you can count on is that if your lawyer took your case under a contingent fee agreement, he or she can't get paid unless he or she gets YOU paid. Your lawyer has every reason to get you as much money as possible, as soon as possible. and no reason to leave a dime on the table or settle for less than the case is worth. These cases take time, and I'd encourage you to (1) talk with your lawyer and (2) be patient. If you're in too big a? hurry to settle, the other side will smell it and offer less in settlement.

You question does not contain sufficient facts upon which to base a decision on venue. You should contact an experienced personal injury attorney for consultation.
