When looking for a personal injury lawyer to handle your case, ask yourself the following questions:

  • Does the lawyer practice only personal injury and/or wrongful death law? Remember, you want to choose an attorney with a solid personal injury law background. An attorney who practices multiple areas of the law may not have the intricate knowledge you need to recover the maximum compensation for your injuries.
  • Does the lawyer have a positive online reputation? Be sure to check reviews on AvvoYelp, and Google before you decide. Like most people, you check out product reviews before you purchase them. In fact, it isn't strange to check out reviews on even $10 products before purchasing them. Why wouldn't you check reviews before you do something as important as hiring a lawyer for your serious injuries?
  • Does the lawyer have experience in the personal injury trial court? Most personal injury attorneys prefer to work cases out with insurance companies. And insurance companies are known for offering the least amount to injured people. If you want the best chance at getting the most out of your claim, you need an attorney that the insurance companies know will not hesitate to take them to court if they refuse to offer you a fair settlement amount. You do not want to be forced to take an unfair deal because you hired an attorney unfamiliar with or intimidated by trial court procedures.
  • Can the attorney demonstrate a solid track record of successful verdicts and settlements? Successful people like to brag and boast about their accomplishments, so finding a page of verdicts and settlements on potential attorneys' websites is not unlikely. This is not unusual for an attorney, so do not be afraid to ask. If you encounter a lawyer who cannot demonstrate a successful history, it is best to skip the next choice.
