Choosing the Right Personal Injury Lawyer After an Accident

If you are in a car, slip and fall or other kind of accident, one of the key decisions you will make is choosing the lawyer to represent you in your injury claim. Choosing the right attorney can impact whether you receive full compensation for your injuries and losses or bear some or even all of the damagers yourself. Here are some key factors to evaluate when selecting a personal injury lawyer after an accident.


  • Experience. Successfully handling personal injury claims is complex, and it helps to have experience: hands-on dealing with insurance companies and their adjusters and knowledge of how insurance companies operate. A lawyer who has this experience and knows tactics insurance companies use to try to lower accident payouts is better able to guide you through the process and get you fair compensation.

  • Skills. A lawyer with skills to negotiate your settlement and also courtroom skills in case the insurer won't settle fairly and your case must go to trial is a plus. Though most injury claims are settled without a trial, an attorney with trial skills won't be pushed around by a big insurer. This goes a long way to getting you the compensation you are entitled to obtain.

  • Resources. Moving a claim forward can require significant resournces, including having the ability and finances to hire experts who can help reconstruct and present what happened. A personal injury lawyer with access to skilled experts - and who can help pay for these people while your claim is being pursued - is a valuable asset on your side.

  • Representing your interests. A lawyer is sensitive to your needs and helpful to you in the process is a benefit. You and your lawyer are a team, and it is better to have a good working relationship.

  • Knowledge of the law. You need a lawyer who knows the law of recovering compensation for personal injuries. Rules of "negligence", "fault", and damages" are complex, as are court procedures and many other legal issues. You want a lawyer who knows all the rules.

After an accident, it is vital to choose the right lawyer to handle your claim. Our law firm has the skills, experience, resources, knowledge and commitment to our clients to effectively handle auto and other accident claims. Our goal is to help you get the most compensation the law entitles you to receive for your injuries.
