Why a Personal Injury Lawyer May Decline Your Case

A good personal injury lawyer may decline your case because it isn’t a good fit for their areas of practice, not because your injury doesn’t matter. Careful lawyers evaluate every case before taking it, and if they aren’t the right firm, they should say so and, when they can, refer you to someone who is.

Personal injury attorneys get used to being the butt of the joke. You’ve probably heard it, in one form or another: “What’s the difference between a personal injury lawyer and a catfish?” “One’s a filthy, scum-sucking, bottom feeder, and the other’s a fish.” From our perspective at Greer Law Group, that joke is both funny and a little wide of the mark. You can see Marlo Greer’s TikTok on this topic here.

Why a Personal Injury Lawyer May Decline a Case

The fact is that at Greer Law Group, we don’t take every case. Before we accept a new client, we carefully evaluate the facts of their case and determine whether it’s a good fit for our areas of expertise. When it comes to personal injury, we help clients in the following areas:

  • Car, truck, motorcycle, bicycle, and pedestrian crashes
  • Medical malpractice
  • Product liability
  • Wrongful death
  • Premises liability, which includes a wide range of injuries that happen on someone else’s property, including slip and falls

You can read more about our areas of expertise on our website. If you have an injury that doesn’t seem to fit into one of these categories, don’t worry: We’ll review your case with you to determine whether we’re the right firm for you and your situation.

We’re careful about who we work with, and honest when we don’t think we’re the firm to provide you with the representation you need, because we care about each one of our clients and want them to get everything they’re entitled to. If we need to refer you to another attorney who’s better positioned to handle your personal injury case, we’re happy to do it. If we’re confident we can help, we’ll do everything we can to see that you’re made whole again.

Questions to Ask After a Lawyer Declines

  • Is my case outside this firm’s practice areas?
  • Do you need more documents or information before you can decide?
  • Is another type of lawyer a better fit for my situation?
  • Is there a deadline I need to know about for filing my claim?
