Selecting a lawyer familiar with pharmaceutical law or Crestor litigation takes time. But without one, your chances of obtaining the maximum (as opposed to the minimum) settlement amount are remote. AstraZeneca, the makers of Crestor, is a powerful and very large pharmaceutical company, capable of employing highly experienced defense attorneys who will be extremely competent and knowledgeable about the drug and all of its benefits and problems. In other words, they will be the Goliath team. This fact alone should drive you to look for equally competent representation familiar with drug law litigation.

An attorney who specializes in Crestor drug cases will be able to handle the case and will know whom to sue, thereby avoiding costly mistakes. He or she is further up the learning curve, knows the strategies used to defend the claims, can mount an effective presentation, and knows which court will be pro-plaintiff, which judge or jury will be more sympathetic to injury cases, and which jurisdictions will likely hand out high verdicts. Injured plaintiffs trying to represent themselves must get up to speed on the legal principles and procedures involved in handling a drug injury case. Trying to be your own lawyer is very risky. Even a small mistake can cause you to lose what might have been a strong claim.

If you are looking to settle your case rather than go at it in open court, you still need a Crestor attorney to handle complex negotiation strategies and to accurately evaluate your claim. An unrepresented claimant is at an extreme disadvantage in negotiating a settlement with a very experienced injury defense attorney. Without representation, you will not be taken seriously. AstraZeneca will attempt to negotiate a low settlement, even if they know your case is worth more. As a result, deserving claimants with legitimate injuries could fall into the trap of settling too early for less than full value or reject a lucrative settlement out of a false sense of justice to have their day in court. People who represent themselves most often receive a fraction of what they could have received in trial with effective representation.

Most experienced personal injury lawyers, including Crestor lawyers, work on a contingency fee basis. This means that a Crestor attorney is not paid up front and is paid only if you win. The standard percentage is usually between one-third and one-half of your recovery. Keep in mind that you can also negotiate for a lower rate.
