Many victims panic if they cannot immediately contact their lawyers. Panic often leads to chain reaction thinking (I can’t find my lawyer so s/he’ll drop my case and the case will be dismissed, etc.). Before you start down that road, take a breath and remember that it’s the 21st century, not the 1st century. Professionals are relatively easy to track down, even if you have little or no information about them. More on that below.
Communication with a car accident injury attorney in Los Angeles is a two-way street. Victims should proactively communicate with their lawyers, and their lawyers should periodically provide updates about their cases. Victims should also know about court appearances, depositions, doctors’ appointments, and other such matters as soon as possible. A lawyer-client partnership usually ensures the best possible outcome.
Before we discuss locating a “missing” lawyer, we should take a step back and discuss how to find the right lawyer in the first place. Thousands of personal injury attorneys practice law in Los Angeles. But only a few have the qualities necessary to obtain the best possible outcome.
These qualities include:
| Quality | What Does It Mean for You? |
|---|---|
| Experience | Years alone don’t tell the full story. Your lawyer should have real trial experience and be prepared to take your case to court if needed, not just settle quickly. |
| Dedication | A strong car accident lawyer is committed to protecting victims’ rights and pursuing fair outcomes, not looking for shortcuts or easy resolutions. |
| Access | You should have direct access to your lawyer, not just staff. Your attorney should handle most of the work and be easy to reach when you need answers or updates. |
Table: Table outlining key qualities to look for in a Los Angeles car accident injury lawyer, including experience, dedication to victims, and direct client access.
When you search for a car accident injury attorney, search diligently but quickly. Car accident victims have a limited amount of time to file legal claims.
If you lose your car accident lawyer’s contact information, don’t try to contact your lawyer straightaway. Instead, take a few moments to examine what you do remember.
We briefly mentioned court hearings, depositions, and other such events above. Check your calendar. If you have such an event scheduled, show up and talk to your lawyer then. It may be embarrassing to ask for contact information, like a business card. But your lawyer will understand. Or, you can create a cover story, such as your friend is looking for a lawyer and you want to share your lawyer’s contact information.
Furthermore, many people remember something about their lawyers, even if they forget their contact information. For example, Ben may remember that his lawyer’s office is near Dodger Stadium. He can then pull up an internet map and search lawyers in that area.
Ben may need the help of Gen Z children or grandchildren. Once again, this request can be embarrassing. But the Gen Zer will probably roll his/her eyes and then provide assistance. Trust us. We know.
Ben could also go to his browser history (control-H) and filter results with a phrase like “car accident injury attorney.” Or, he could simply scroll through the browser’s history, or email history, until he finds something familiar.
We also mentioned referrals above. If a friend or relative referred you to a lawyer, chances are that friend or relative has that lawyer’s contact information.
These search methods may only net a name. Don’t worry. With a little more detective work, the rest of the contact information is close at hand.
A standard internet search should quickly reveal the lawyer’s contact information. A visit to the state bar’s website search page should do the same thing. Once again, you may need to enlist the aid of someone born in this century.
Once you find your lawyer’s contact information, do the old-fashioned thing and use a magnet to put it on the refrigerator. Or, you can do the 21st century thing and store the information in your contacts. Make a note of the lawyer’s name on a notepad or someplace else for quick reference.
Waiting could work as well. Most good lawyers regularly keep tabs on their clients via phone, email, or snail mail. Just wait for one of these contacts. If your lawyer doesn’t contact you, that’s a sign that you need a new one.
If you forget your lawyer’s contact information, for whatever reason, a good lawyer never forgets you, for any reason. For a free consultation with an experienced personal injury lawyer in California, contact the Law Offices of Eslamboly Hakim. Virtual, home, and after-hours visits are available.
