Brandon J. Broderick, Personal Injury Attorney at Law
No one expects to need a personal injury lawyer. But when the unexpected happens and you find yourself injured due to someone else’s recklessness or negligence, you have good cause to find and hire an exceptional personal injury lawyer. Good personal injury attorneys have the experience, track record and skills to secure financial compensation for your losses – oftentimes, far more than going it on your own.?
5 Steps: How to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer
1. Seek Referrals and Analyze Reviews
Ask friends, relatives and colleagues about any experiences they’ve had with personal injury lawyers. Many personal injury attorneys post?client reviews on their websites?or can be found when searching online for personal injury lawyers. Positive reviews indicate clients satisfaction, and this will help you narrow down to a small list of lawyers you may want to contact.?
When searching online for a personal injury attorney, try adding the state or city you live in to get a detailed idea of attorneys in your area. Lawyers are licensed?by the state, so a personal injury lawyer in California may not be able to take your case in New Jersey. Keep in mind that many personal injury lawyers will travel locally to meet you, if needed, and have multiple locations.
2. Request a Free Consultation
Narrow down your list to a few firms to reach out to. Most personal injury lawyers offer free consultations to discuss the specifics of your case. These consultations will give you a sense of what kind of case the lawyer thinks you may have. Many injury cases are complex and may involve multiple liable parties. A good personal injury lawyer may be able to offer an idea of how complex the case is, avenues to pursue a claim and advise on?how a settlement could work.
The consultation is also your opportunity to evaluate if the attorney is the right fit.?Ask questions?about the personal injury lawyer’s experience in cases like yours, their track record of success and the resources available for your case.?
3. Evaluate Your Options
An accident lawyer with years of experience is likely familiar with all kinds of injury cases. However, to back up the years of practice, a good injury lawyer should have a strong record of success in those injury cases.
Before considering a lawyer’s service for your injury case, pay attention to these critical indicators of experience and success.
