Seven Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Personal Injury Attorney

    MIAMI, FL, December 02, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Finding an experienced personal injury attorney can be difficult. Combine that with finding an attorney you feel comfortable with and who you feel is sufficiently committed to your case, and it can become almost impossible to make a decision. Your choice of personal injury attorney is vital to the success of your case, though. Knowing what to ask can make the process of finding the right attorney for you much easier.

What to Ask a Personal Injury Attorney

The seven questions you should ask any personal injury attorney are:

- How long have you practiced in my state?
- Do you specialize in personal injury law?
- How many personal injury cases have you handled?
- How many cases are you currently handling?
- Can you provide references from other clients?
- Will you handle my case personally?
- How often does your firm pursue cases to trial?

Your initial consultation with your prospective attorney should be free of both charge and obligation. During this consultation, you will want to ask these and any other questions you may have.

You want to find an attorney who has been practicing personal injury law for a good amount of time to ensure he is knowledgeable and experienced in dealing with the complexities of these cases. You want to know how often he deals with personal injury to better assess his devotion to this area of practice. You want to know his caseload to make sure he has time to personally deal with your case. You also want to know his success rate, and how other clients view his capabilities and attention to their personal needs.

There are thousands of personal injury attorneys in the United States. Some of them are exceptional at their jobs, and can provide you with documentation to prove that. Others may not have as much experience, but instill confidence based on their approach and the way they make you feel. Ultimately, your personal injury attorney is someone you need to be able to trust and rely on. Taking time to interview a number of attorneys can help ensure you are making the decision that is best for you.
