How Do I Choose A Personal Injury Law Attorney Who Is Right For My Case?

Have you been injured and need to choose a personal injury law attorney to represent you in a case for damages? If so, time is of the essence to hire an attorney to represent you on your case. There are several factors you should consider before making your decision to hire an attorney. To begin, when you call potential attorneys, you want to be sure to ask, at a minimum, the following questions in order to determine if they are a good fit for your case.:

• Ask about their experience level, 
• Their years of case work in this area, 
• The types of cases they specialize in, and 
• Their fee structure

Be aware that it can be important to choose an attorney with experience representing clients in cases similar to yours when you are choosing a personal injury law attorney in your area.  Know that there are many different types of personal injury lawsuits. Some attorneys focus more closely on workplace related incidents, while others handle many cases involving car accidents or medical injuries. Be sure to find an attorney with a track record of success in handling a case like yours.

Along the same lines, look for a personal injury law attorney who specializes in this area of the law. In your area you will see many lawyers have practices involving lots of different matters and case types that could range from real estate closings to divorce and custody matters, with writing wills and representing clients in personal injury cases for good measure. Now it may be true that an attorney who works in all of these areas may be a good lawyer, however, choosing a personal injury law attorney who specializes in personal injury law and devotes most of her working hours to this area may be a better choice. They are more likely to know about trends in these types of cases and understand how judges or arbitrators are likely to view your case.

Did you know that many personal injury law attorneys, unlike lawyers in other practice areas, work on a contingency fee basis? Do not hesitate to ask your prospective attorney how she charges clients, whether she works on a contingency basis, and if so, how the contingency is structured. You do not want to wind up with a surprise bill at the conclusion of your case.
