How To Choose A Personal Injury Attorney

1. Is he/she a personal injury specialist?
Don't be tempted to go with a general lawyer, even if they seem very good. Injury laws are constantly changing and you need a professional who is keeping up with these changes. A specialist will be able to close your case quickly and get the biggest settlement.

2. What is his/her success rate?
Find out how many cases they have won and the average settlement. Don't be afraid to ask for references... a successful personal injury attorney will be able to supply plenty of good references.

3. Is he/she good at dealing with insurance companies?
Most cases are settled out of court so it's very important that your lawyer be very confident at dealing with insurance companies and their lawyers.

4. Is he/she respectful and attentive?
Personality is an important consideration. Make sure that they are focused and attentive to your needs and questions.

5. Costs?
The good news is that most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency basis... they get paid only after the case is settled. The average is 30-40% of the total settlement. If an attorney asks for an upfront retainer, you may want to keep looking.
