If you have been injured in a Pearland car accident or by an unsafe product you need to protect yourself and your family. You may not need a lawyer to do this, but if you do decide a lawyer is necessary, make sure you interview that attorney before making a decision. During that interview ask and make sure you get answers, to these 4 crucial questions.

1. Are you Board Certified?

The Attorney MUST be Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Only 2% of the approximately 88,000 attorneys in the State of Texas are Board Certified. This alone greatly narrows your search. Within the legal community, Board Certification means an attorney has substantial, relevant experience in the Personal Injury field of law as well as proven, and tested special competence in this area of law. DO NOT RISK your case with attorneys that are not Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law. Both of the principal attorneys at Denena & Points, PC - Chad Points and Tony Denena - are Board Certified in Personal Injury Trial Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization.


2. Do you carry errors and omissions insurance?

The law firm must carry errors and omissions insurance. Think of all the types of insurance out there: car, home, health, life and many others. Would you go to a doctor that didn't carry malpractice insurance? Of course not! Now in Texas it doesn't matter if the doctor has malpractice insurance because medical malpractice cases don't exist in Texas anymore, but that is the subject of a different article. It is simply to risky to hire a lawyer that doesn't have insurance to protect you in the rare event an issue arises? Plus, being able to shoulder this expense is just another sign of stability.

3. Do you have solid experience with my type of case?

You wouldn't hire a plumber for an electrical problem. Why would you hire a criminal defense lawyer for your Pearland injury case? Injury cases are often complex and have many, many moving parts. You must hire an attorney that knows what to do on your case and how to address your issues. The attorneys at Denena & Points, PC are Board Certified Personal Injury Trial Attorneys that represent injured plaintiffs 100% of the time. If you need help on a will we can refer you to someone, but we don't claim to know how to do that nor do we want to do that. We are 100% committed to helping injured folks get their lives back on track.

4. Give me a FULL explanation of the entire legal process.

You have an absolute right to know exactly what is going on in your case. You have an absolute right to know how the process works when it comes to an injury case. Demand the attorney you are interviewing gives you a full explanation of the process your case will go through. Like there are many generalists out there, the legal world is filled with settlement lawyers. These attorneys settle every case and do not take cases to trial. You should hire at the outset an attorney that knows the courtroom and has a history of success with juries. One way to judge this is to look for Board Certification. Another is to research a firm's successes. A third way is to ask questions about your case and whether that attorney has had success with your particular type of case. Every case is different, but past success indicates competence. If the attorney you are speaking with cannot fully explain the litigation process you should move on to the next lawyer on your list.
