Find out what you should be looking for in a lawyer in the sections below.

A Guide to Personal Injury Attorneys & What to Look For 

1. Relevant Expertise

Personal injury cases cover an array of incidents, from dog bites and car crashes to medical malpractice. Look for a lawyer who has worked on cases similar to yours. They will have the necessary knowledge and network of experts—for instance, other doctors to testify in a medical malpractice suit.

2. Stellar Reputation

Don’t rely solely on the internet to determine a lawyer’s reputation—you want personal feedback from real people familiar with their work. Ask friends, family, and colleagues for recommendations. If you have lawyers in your social circles, start there. Even if they don’t practice personal injury law, they may know which local law firms have a good reputation in the field. Or, have potential attorneys to share testimonials from former clients.

3. Sufficient Resources

Putting together a successful personal injury case takes time and manpower. It can involve everything from interviewing witnesses to analyzing medical files and reading police reports. Make sure the law firm you hire has enough staff and resources to get the job done.

4. Compassionate Attitude

A personal injury suit can be an emotionally taxing experience—and it may take time to conclude. In some cases, they can drag on for years. You want an emotionally supportive and compassionate personal injury attorney by your side.
