Suffering an injury due to someone else's negligence can be a personally and financially devastating experience, with mounting medical costs and potentially debilitating injuries. The single greatest decision you'll make when pursuing compensation for your losses is choosing a personal injury attorney to represent your interests and guide you through this complex process. The Law Office of Thomas L Brayton III, a Waterbury, Connecticut-based lawyer with nearly three decades' of experience helping people collect damages for their injuries, recommends asking the following questions when interviewing an attorney:

What Percentage of Your Practice Is Personal Injury Cases?

This area of the law is very difficult, so even an attorney who is accomplished in another area of the law may not able to provide the level of service as an attorney who specializes in personal injury law. Whenever possible, you'll want a lawyer with significant experience handling cases like yours.

How Much Experience Do You Have?

While an attorney who has only been practicing for a short time may provide excellent service, it's almost always better to rely on a professional with years of experience. In many cases, highly experienced lawyers are not significantly more expensive.

Who Will Handle My Case?

Find out whether the attorney with whom you're meeting will be the one working on your case. If not, ask if you can meet the individual who will be.
