A severe injury can be both physically and financially distressing. However, if the incident was caused by the negligence of another party, filing a personal injury claim can help you recover the compensation you need to pay for medical bills and make up for lost wages. That process starts by finding the right attorney to represent your interests. Here are some questions that can help you decide if a particular lawyer is right for you.

What to Ask When Interviewing Personal Injury Attorneys 

1. Have You Worked on a Case Like Mine Before?

Personal injury law covers a wide area, including auto incidents, work-related accidents, or if a defective product harmed you. An attorney who has represented numerous claims like yours will know how to deal with common issues that come up and be familiar with strategies that can help prove your case.

2. Who Will Be Handling My Case? 

Many personal injury attorneys aren’t involved in every aspect of a client’s case. Often, they will enlist other professionals in their firm to assist with preparing and filing documents, gathering evidence, and negotiating with insurance companies. Thus, you should know who your point of contact at each step should be.

3. What Is Your Trial Experience?

Although the majority of personal injury claims are settled before ever reaching the courtroom, there is no guarantee this will happen in your situation. Therefore, you want an attorney who can take your case to trial if necessary and present a compelling argument on your behalf. Make sure your attorney has a winning record, as this is a good indication they are capable of litigating your case successfully.

4. What Will You Need From Me?

Your involvement should be discussed in detail before determining if a lawyer is a good fit. Often, to establish liability conclusively, your attorney will need you to seek proper medical treatment, keep updated records, and provide investigators with an account of what happened.
