A lawyer representing a personal injury client has a duty to provide diligent and competent representation, regardless of whose vehicle or insurance policy is involved. This means the lawyer must advocate for the client's best interests at all stages of the case, ensuring their rights are protected and that they receive fair compensation for their injuries. The lawyer must thoroughly investigate the collision, gather evidence, and negotiate with insurance companies, even if the client's own insurer is implicated. Ethical obligations require the lawyer to maintain open communication with the client, offer honest advice, and act with loyalty, placing the client's needs above any external pressures or conflicts of interest.
