How to Find a Personal Injury Lawyer

17 Jan 2019 Legal Services

Knowing how to find a personal injury lawyer who is well suited to handle your case can help ensure that you end up with the best possible outcome. At Linley Welwood, we understand how important it is to find the right lawyer for your particular wants and needs. That is why our team of highly trained personal injury lawyers are well versed and experienced in all types of personal injury cases.

Tips for Finding the Right Personal Injury Lawyer

Some simple tips for finding the right personal injury lawyer to handle your case are:

1. Choose an Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer

Rather than choosing a lawyer who handles many different types of legal cases on a daily basis, make sure to look for a lawyer who handles personal injury cases day in and day out. Since the practice of law can be complex and difficult for a general practice lawyer to stay well versed in all personal injury law developments, working with an experienced personal injury lawyer will mean having a seasoned professional on your side who can best represent you and your case.

2. Select a Personal Injury Lawyer with Sufficient Resources

Since lawsuits involving serious or catastrophic personal injuries can be expensive to take to court, it is important to select a personal injury lawyer who has sufficient resources. A lawyer that lacks the resources to fund your case properly may have to cut corners at the expense of your case. Make sure to find a lawyer who has the resources to take a case to trial, if need be.

3. Find a Lawyer Who has Actually Tried Cases in Court

While most people believe that personal injury lawyers try cases in court on a regular basis, a significant percentage of lawyers who handle personal injury cases have little to no jury trial experience. When trying to find the right lawyer for your personal injury case, make sure to find out if the lawyer has tried cases in court and, if so, how often.

4. Work with a Lawyer Who Will Let You Talk to Past Clients

Talking to past clients or reading reviews and testimonials can provide you with strong insights into how that particular lawyer treats their clients. Consider asking potential lawyers to talk to past clients. A personal injury lawyer who is open and honest about their past cases will be more likely to treat you and your case with respect.
