Choosing a Personal Injury Attorney

    ORLANDO, FL, January 08, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The aftermath of an accident can be frightening and confusing, and the last thing you may want to do is hire a lawyer. But a lawyer may be essential for you to receive compensation for a debilitating injury that prevents you from working or supporting your family. Just having a lawyer isn't enough; a good personal injury attorney is key to protecting you and your loved ones' best interests.

Things to Look For

• Experience
• Medical expertise
• Personal attention
• Verdicts and settlements

Experience
The kinds of accidents that can result in personal injury are numerous and varied, including:

• Assault
• Automobile or other vehicle accident
• Defective product
• Industrial injury
• Work accident

Due to the variety and unique nature of injury causes and effects, hiring a lawyer with extensive experience in a range of injury cases is essential to winning a case.

Medical Expertise
Since most personal injury cases deal with medical issues, having a personal injury lawyer who has extensive medical knowledge can mean the difference between winning and losing a case. This knowledge is also of great benefit in medical malpractice suits.

Personal Attention
In larger firms, it's easier for clients to "fall through the cracks" and not receive the personal attention from lawyers needed for a successful case. One should look for a firm large enough to provide all of the resources necessary yet also devoted to making sure your lawyer gives you the undivided attention you need. The complex nature of personal injury cases means that attention to detail is key to a successful verdict or settlement.

Verdicts and Settlements
How can you tell whether a lawyer will be successful in your case? There are no guarantees, but looking back at their record of winning verdicts and settlements in personal injury cases similar to yours should give you a sense of the capabilities of your lawyer or law firm. A lack of reasonable verdicts and settlements might indicate a firm that has a good advertising department, but falls short in winning cases for their clients.
