Compassionate And Aggressive Legal Representation For Injury Victims

How to Hire a Personal Injury Attorney

| Oct 1, 2024 | Injury Attorney, Personal Injury

1.Referrals from Other Attorneys
Attorneys will normally know other attorneys who have successfully represented accident victims in your community. You could also try to obtain recommendations from the local Bar Association.

2.Specialization
Make sure to hire an attorney who specializes in handling personal injury cases. You would not want an attorney who specializes in divorce cases handling your personal injury case.

3.Experience
It is critical that your attorney has practiced as a personal injury attorney for at least ten years and has trial experience with personal injury cases. If not, the attorney likely does not have adequate experience to deal with the complexity involved in winning such cases. Further, if the defense attorneys and insurance companies believe that an attorney will not be willing to take a case to trial, they will make low-ball offers.

4.Reputation
The reputation of an attorney matters the most when it comes to legal representation. A good reputation in previous dealings in the court and with insurance companies assures a higher recovery. You can review their client’s testimonials to assess their reputation or talk to other attorneys in the legal community if possible.

5.Meet Your Attorney
You need to meet the attorney in person to make sure that you get along and have confidence in his/her ability to represent you in the case. Make sure that the attorney will not send your case to a different law firm or have an associate handle the case.

6.Contingency Fee
An attorney doesn’t collect contingency fee or legal fee from the client unless the attorney recovers money for the client, either through a settlement or a trial. The attorney generally takes a percentage or share of the settlement amount, usually 33% of the total settlement. The contingency fee is generally charged for personal injury cases
