Choosing An Injury Lawyer

By Jude Buzalochi


Whether you have recently been hurt in a car or truck accident, burned or injured by chemical exposure, hurt on a construction site, or simply frustrated by an insurance company that has refused to pay benefits that are owed to you, a personal injury lawyer can help! The aim of this article is to help you understand how to select the best one.

The personal injury lawyer you choose should be more than just "competent." Your legal team should be "remarkable". Your personal injury lawyer should provide you with resources to deal with all aspects of your case, answer questions, prepare intensely for trial, try your case (if need be) and always be prepared to fight on your behalf.

A remarkable law firm works daily to exceed your expectations. They will work to get you compensation to cover damages you have suffered, which may include but are not limited to, medical and surgical costs, lost work time (wages), anxiety, loss of consortium, pain and suffering, mileage and many out of pocket costs that you may face. Remarkable means following up with clients promptly. It means cultivating a reputation for being tough but fair, savvy and compassionate. A good law firm will make sure the clients feel comfortable, but at the same time, they need to send a message, loud and clear, to insurance companies and liable parties that they mean business. They are constantly building and using their credentials for the benefit of the clients.

Often times there is a kind of shock after a traumatic event and Injury and accident victims do not always act swiftly enough in these cases. When a horrific event changes everything in their world, it is only human nature to "wait a little while" to get your bearing before moving forward, but this is the wrong approach. Here's the reason why: Evidence from the accident or injury may get lost or even be destroyed in the hours and days after the accident. The witness recollections will grow hazier and less accurate as time passes after the accident. Even your own blessed memory of the event will give way to hazier inaccurate memories. And on top of that, if you wait too long after the accident or injury, you may lose your ability to make a claim altogether, even if you have compelling evidence on your side, due to the "statute of limitations" in that state.

Each personal injury case is unique and needs to be looked at by an experienced injury lawyer. Choose an accident lawyer that will give you the time and attention you deserve and need to win your case. Be sure they listen astutely to what you want and need and help you feel calm, comfortable, and taken care of throughout your case. Most injury law firms takes cases on a contingency basis. This means that until they win a trial verdict or reach a settlement, you do not owe anything.
