Q: My mother was in a car accident last week, and already she has received letters from lawyers asking if she ok, and if she wants a lawyer? Is it ethical for a lawyer to send such a letter?
A: First, I hope she feels better. Secondly, in cases in New York can send it acceptable for a lawyer, such a letter to the victim of an accident. The majority of lawyers feel like a letter home, a victim is demeaning and degrading. Some lawyersto think that this is nothing more than an invitation, which is clearly not allowed in New York. Other lawyers (those who send these letters is) the view that it can get their only chance to entice the victim to his victim in order to them as a client.
The letter should only offer them legal advice and guidance should they wish. Nor how to use the powers to, if you are using a flood of letters from different lawyers flooded promising to help you withTheir claim?
The answer is easier than you think. Ask yourself why a lawyer would even bother to send such a letter. Are they really so desperate that sending such a letter? How did they get your name anyway? I'll tell you how it happened, perhaps taken from the tow truck operators and your car. Perhaps it was from an ambulance technician. Perhaps it was from a police-quencher at the police. (This is to inform the public that many researchers work for lawyerstroll) at various police stations.
Imagine a different question. Let a stranger into the house because he says he saw, you need a coating, and surprisingly, he is a painter who is willing to paint your house for a cheap price? Did you call him? No, you have to look for other clients of his to see if it is reliable and professional? No, it was only when trolling through the neighborhood. Is this the kind of artist you are working in your house? I do not thinkso.
The same logic applies to a lawyer that you send a letter without being asked after the accident. What do you know about the lawyer? Probably nothing. Does this mean that he (or she) does not a good lawyer? No, but think again that you want your attorney. It helps to know that your lawyer gets many cases in this way, through the sending of unsolicited letters from lawyers hope that a few ignorant people will answer the letter? The choice, as yours always. Make an informedChoice.
