Personal injury law is intricate and complex, so you want an attorney who is very comfortable dealing with these intricacies. By choosing an attorney who is more or a generalist, you risk the quality of your representation. Make sure the attorney you choose is an experienced personal injury lawyer.
While settling can be a valid option in many cases, there are other cases where going to trial is in your best interest. Insurance companies can be aggressive, and if your attorney isn’t willing to go or comfortable going to trial, you may end up getting taken advantage of.
Not only should your personal injury lawyer have experience going to trial, but also have a record of delivering a significant verdict or settlement. This is especially important if you have a larger case with significant injuries. Don’t be afraid to ask about a lawyer’s past settlements and past verdicts.
The internet is a wealth of knowledge to help you research your potential lawyer. There are a few key things to keep an eye out for when you’re researching.
First, check out the lawyer’s credentials. Make sure your lawyer is licensed in your state and good standing with the state bar. Second, check out the client reviews. Did other people get good results from working with this attorney? Have they handled cases similar to yours? The website testimonials will only tell you so much, so take a look at the law firm’s Facebook, LinkedIn page, or Google reviews.

Your lawyer must have the right skills and experience, but it’s also important that you feel comfortable with your lawyer. Your case is very personal to you, and when working with your attorney, you’ll be sharing a lot of personal information. Take advantage of the free consultation that most lawyers offer. Use it not only as a chance to have them evaluate your case and see if they have the skills and experience you’re looking for but also as a chance to see if your personalities fit.
