What information is required for an attorney to accept a case & sue someone else?
Most attorneys are only going to accept cases in which they feel they can legally help you obtain a fairly significant recovery. Cases are screened to try and determine if you will likely end up with a reasonable net sum and if the attorney will be adequately compensated for his time and efforts. It is important that you present enough information, facts and other legal evidence which demonstrate that there is (1) legal liability against the other side (2) that has resulted in causing you (3) actual injuries or other forms of legal damages, and (4) that the other side has the financial capability to pay your damages, such as insurance or other assets. In most personal injury cases you must have sufficient proof that the other side was negligent or acted intentionally to harm you. Negligence is generally considered to be unreasonable conduct or actions below the standard of due care required to prevent foreseeable harm to someone else. Auto accidents and slip and fall incidents usually
