What to Look for when Hiring an Injury Attorney

So, you have decided to hire an injury attorney.  Here are some tips on how to find the right injury attorney for you.

  1. How were you injured? Every injury attorney has areas of expertise.  Some focus more on mass torts (think Prilosec litigation), products liability (think defective cars) or car accidents (think regular traffic collisions).  Research attorneys based upon their areas of specialization.  Their websites should show what areas they practice in and for how long they have been practicing in those areas.
  2. Where were you injured? You can choose an attorney in your home location, however, be aware that your local attorney may need to refer your case out to another attorney if the location of your accident was in a different state.  Every lawyer should be licensed in a certain state or multiple states.  If your accident happened in a state in which your attorney is not licensed, your attorney may need to refer your case out.  This referral may depend on whether your case needs to go into litigation (when you as the plaintiff files a lawsuit against a defendant).
  3. Have you spoken to the attorney’s office? What type of feeling did you get after speaking to the attorney and his or her staff? Part of finding the right injury attorney is developing a personal relationship with the attorney and his or her staff.  It is important to openly discuss your case, issues affecting your case and issues affecting your life because of your injury.  This openness can only happen when you feel comfortable with the attorney and staff.  Your attorney will do the best job for you and your case when your relationship is comfortable.
  4. Did you look at reviews of the attorney and or law firm? It may sound cliché, but reviews are important.  Generally speaking, truth lies in unbiased reviews.  Being part of the legal community in the Philadelphia and Bucks County areas for over 40 years, we personally know many members of the legal community.  And what we can say is that reviews are usually accurate.  If you find bad reviews, that would be a good indicator to steer clear of that attorney or firm.
