During the aftermath of a serious injury, people are often presented with a unique set of complications, and that’s why it’s so important to discuss your situation with the right personal injury attorney. The Law Offices of Terrence J. Salerno boasts one of Omaha’s most dedicated personal injury and wrongful death attorneys and affords clients a compassionate and devoted legal team to represent their side. They know that facing an accidental injury is never easy, and trying to find an attorney you can trust can seem even harder. Finding someone you can trust, however, is your end goal; first, there are things you have to do in the beginning.

Begin a reference search by asking family or friends who have hired an attorney if they know of someone who vigorously represented their case. You will usually find a lawyer in some other legal practice who can refer you to an experienced plaintiff's personal injury lawyer. 

When you’ve exhausted these options, know that most people today find reputable lawyers online. Also, your local bar association will have a list of practitioners in your area. But regardless of where you acquire your attorney list, conducting interviews will be your most valuable asset.

Start your interview process by browsing attorney websites and viewing highlighted practice areas. Remember, personal injury law is one of the broadest areas of the law, and while a wonderful auto accident attorney might have won lots of settlements for clients, they may have no idea how to proceed in a medical malpractice lawsuit. 

You will want to call the firm and ask if they offer free initial consultations. Prepare ahead of time. Bring medical documentation, police reports, an accident summary, timeline and history and anything else you think necessary to your consultation.

During your consultation, inquire about:

• Their experience
• What percentage of their cases are like yours
• Do they represent just plaintiffs (your preferred option), or plaintiffs and defendants?
• Who would work on your case in the office?
• The types of injuries you have suffered and what that could mean for your case
• Whether they will work on a contingency fee basis or per hourly basis

The right lawyer should make you feel confident with his/her knowledge of your type of case. Knowledge of your situation demonstrates that they have experience with these dilemmas and will know how to navigate complex legal issues.
