Selecting An Injury Lawyer

By Jude Buzalochi


When you or a loved one is hurt in a car or truck accident, burned or injured by chemical exposure, hurt on a construction site, or simply frustrated by an insurance company that has refused to pay benefits that are owed, it's time you talked with a licensed injury lawyer. This article exists to help you better understand where to begin in the hunt for a good injury lawyer.

An accident or injury lawyer should be more than just "competent." The legal team that you select to represent you should be "remarkable". The accident lawyer you ultimately choose, should provide you with plenty of resources to help cope with all aspects of your case, answer your questions, prepare adequately for a trial, try your case (if need be) and always be prepared to argue intelligently on your behalf.

A truly remarkable firm will work hard to exceed your expectations. They will pull out all stops to get you compensation to cover damages you have suffered, which may include but are not limited to, medical and surgical costs, lost work time and wages, anxiety, pain and suffering, car mileage and many out of pocket costs that you may face. A respected firm will follow up with clients promptly. Look for a lawyer who has a reputation for being tough but fair, smart and compassionate. A great law firm will make sure the client feels comfortable, and at the same time, they need to send a message, loud and clear, to insurance companies and liable parties that they mean business. The right firm will not be scared to throw their credentials around for the benefit of the client.

Accident and injury victims often find themselves in a state of a shock after a traumatic event and do not act swiftly enough. When a terrible event disrupts everything in your world, it's only human nature to "wait a bit" to get your head together before moving forward, but this approach may not be the best idea. Here's why: Evidence from the accident or injury may get lost or even be deliberately destroyed in the hours and days after the accident. Witness recollections may grow foggier and more inaccurate as time passes after the incident. Even your own recollection of the event will give way to hazier, less accurate memories. And if you wait too long after the accident or injury, you may lose your ability to make a claim altogether, even if you have compelling evidence on your side, due to the "statute of limitations."

Every personal injury case is different. Choose an auto accident lawyer that will give you the professional attention you need to prosecute your case. Make sure they listen to what you want and need and help you feel calm, comfortable, and taken care of throughout your case. Most injury law firms takes cases on a contingency basis. This means that the clients do not pay, until they win a trial verdict or reach a settlement.
