Bad personal injury attorneys are out there—and this means bad news for attorneys who are actually hard-working, legitimate, and ethical. Bad attorneys cast a poor reputation over the personal injury sector of law, because the average person soon becomes skeptical of the other side’s intentions.Practices such as ambulance-chasing, a way to deliberately seek out injury victims in order to gain clients, is commong among unethical legal practices.

Look for These Red Flags

You will want an attorney to stay on top of your case, every step of the way. That attorney must be able to facilitate a dialogue that is encouraging but is also honest about the expectations of your case. You should be able to rely on your attorney and come to that person with all of your pressing questions. The claims process and litigation are all very complex procedures and you shouldn’t have to worry about that, especially if you are the one suffering from your injury.

Here are some examples of unethical legal practices:

• Encouraging clients to take insufficient settlements
• Taking cases to trial when they should be settled
• Takes shortcuts and puts your case on the back burner
• Hardly ever or never returns your phone calls

Bad attorneys only see dollar signs, feeding off of your case, and twisting things to fit their own agendas. While there is obviously a degree of argumentation in the personal injury legal process, making the wrong movies is bad practice and leaves claimants at the largest disadvantage.
