Why won’t lawyers take my case?
A lawyer declining your case can reflect several different concerns and does not always mean that your injury is unimportant.
YOUR CASE MAY HAVE BEEN REJECTED FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS.
What do I need for a personal injury case?
If you were injured and it was entirely someone else’s fault, you already have the makings of a strong case. If there is an applicable insurance policy of any kind, many Personal Injury law firms would be willing to take your case.
IF YOUR CASE LACKS SUPPORT FOR ONE OF THESE THREE ELEMENTS, THAT MAY EXPLAIN REJECTION.
Even if you have tons of evidence for your injury and you know someone’s insurance will cover it, the issue may surround liability. If it is difficult or impossible to prove that your injury was caused by someone else, it can be hard for Lawyers to accept your case.
MANY CASES ARE REJECTED DUE TO CONCERNS ABOUT EVIDENCE.
Examples include:
Disputed responsibility
Missing proof
Causation problems
Other reasons for rejection could be practical concerns, such as deadlines, expected recovery, available insurance, firm’s focus areas. A firm may also be unable to represent someone even when the matter deserves further review due to conflicts of interest.
ONE THING TO ASK IS WHETHER REJECTION IS DUE TO THE CASE OR DUE TO THE FIRM’S CAPABILITY.
