How to Choose a Personal Injury Law Firm?

Choosing a personal injury lawyer for your case can be a formidable task, especially if you’ve never hired an attorney before. With so many to choose from, how do you know which personal injury lawyer works best for your case?

When choosing a lawyer for your injury claim, there are specific factors you should be looking at when choosing an accident lawyer:

  • Examine the track record – Take a look at their case results. Do they have a successful track record in cases similar to yours? For example, Giddens Law Firm has achieved multi-million dollar verdicts and settlements for victims of car accidents, truck accidents, medical malpractice, product liability, and much more.
  • Review their credentials – Check the lawyer’s credentials to see how long they’ve been practicing, where they are licensed, and if they are members of any legal organizations. Many times, the lawyer’s bio states any recognitions they may have received from peer-reviewed legal organizations, such as Super Lawyers.
  • Read the reviews – Hearing the experience of a former client can give you an idea of how the lawyer works and communicates. But don’t just check Google! Remember to look at other review websites such as Avvo and Martindale-Hubbell to get a full picture.
  • Ask questions – Most personal injury lawyers offer a free initial consultation. During this first meeting, take the time to learn about your attorney and how they can benefit your case. Ask them important questions such as, “Have you handled many cases like this one before?” and “What is your philosophy to representing a case?” Ask about their credentials to make sure they have the experience needed for your case.
  • Understand the fee – Finally, make sure you understand the fee arrangement before hiring an attorney. Most personal injury firms work on a contingency basis. What this means is you do not pay the attorney’s fee up front; instead, once your case is settled, the lawyer will take a small percentage of the settlement for your fee. However, if your case is not successful, you do not owe a fee.
