Spanish-Speaking Attorneys in Demand
Some states, such as Houston, Texas, realize more prominent Spanish-speaking residents than other states. While these residents may be learning the English language, it is vital to have a Spanish-speaking lawyer to help them understand the English judicial system’s legalities in their native language.
A Spanish-orientated person whose primary language is Spanish will discover how difficult it is to find an attorney who speaks Spanish. If the person does understand bits of the English language, much communication between attorney and client may be lost in translation from English to Spanish or Spanish to English.
There is a growing need for attorneys who can speak fluent Spanish because the Spanish culture is a fast-growing culture throughout the United States, especially in the states boarding Mexico, such as the state of Texas. A Spanish-speaking lawyer can help with the legal issues of a Spanish-orientated person needing legal assistance.
There are many varieties of attorneys such as,
- Estate, Probate, and Family Law
- Corporation Attorneys
- Medical Malpractice and Medical Negligence
- *Wrongful Accident/Injury/Death Attorney and many more specific law fields of practice
The type of attorney who sits at the top of the list for most client cases is the attorney who represents wrongful accidents, injuries, and death lawsuits. Accidents, injuries, and wrongful death cases occur in many places across the United States, such as the following.
- Public streets, roads, and highways
- At construction sites,
- A private residence,
- At medical facilities,
- At office buildings,
- Grocery stores,
- Retail stores,
- Airplanes, buses, trains, public transportation, and more
The Rising Demand for Spanish-Speaking Attorneys
However, the one place where most wrongful accidents, injuries, and death lawsuits occur is in on the job at the workplace. Employers do have thousands of employees who do not speak fluent English because their primary language is Spanish.
A Spanish-speaking person is not exempt from a workplace accident, injury, or death wrongfully caused by a negligent person. This person must seek the right attorney’s services to handle their case. When there is an English, Spanish barrier, an attorney who can speak fluent Spanish is sorely needed for the following reasons.
- Understandable communication between an attorney and their client is critical to the case.
- The Spanish-speaking person must understand everything the attorney tries to explain to them regarding the English judicial system.
- This situation is made more accessible and effective if the attorney can communicate with their fluent Spanish client.
- It is essential to the case if the client and attorney can talk to each other without a language barrier.
- Being able to translate the law effectively, whether the attorney speaks English or Spanish, is essential to winning the case.
A client who sustained injuries on the job due to a negligent person must trust their attorney. When an attorney speaks a client’s native language, this instills an element of trust in that attorney.
When there is a language barrier, this creates an uncertain environment and adds tenseness and anxiety to the client who does not understand or speak fluent English. This situation makes it difficult for the client to develop attorney trust. When an attorney devotes extra time and attention to learn and speak Spanish, there is a great sense of relief for the client. Trust is built between both parties when there is a clear understanding in communication.
Attorneys who live and practice law in areas of the country where there is a sizable Spanish-speaking presence are most helpful if they learn fluent Spanish or hire Spanish-speaking people to intervene for their Spanish clients.
Indeed, workers suffer every day on the job with needless, negligent accidents and injuries caused by another person. When Spanish-speaking workers suffer an injury at work (un trabajador sufre una lesión), they need an attorney to understand the situation and their needs. The client and the attorney’s clear understanding means the difference between winning or losing this critical case.
Texas is a state which has many Spanish-speaking employees in many types of employment fields. Work accidents are on the rise and have become all too common throughout the state of Texas.
Serious workplace accidents need a seasoned accident/injury attorney’s expertise to get the injured person the highest level of compensation available. This attorney can calculate the monetary needs of the past, present, and future so that the injured client does not have to worry about paying for medical expenses and afford to live. All this injured client must do is work to heal. This attorney works hard to get the client a fair and just settlement.
