If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in a New York car accident, pedestrian accident, slip-and-fall or trip-and-fall accident, or construction accident, or due to medical malpractice or any other type of traumatic event, you are probably thinking of retaining an experienced attorney to represent you and fight for your rights. The type of attorney you choose in such a situation may determine the outcome of your case and the type of compensation that you will receive. In other words, the decision you make when choosing your personal injury attorney can have an impact on the quality of your life and your financial future.
Who is the Best Attorney to Represent You?
There are a number of factors that victims and their families would be well advised to take into consideration before they choose a personal injury lawyer to represent them:
• The firm’s reputation: You need to look for a law firm that has consistently won high recognition from peers as well as other prestigious organizations in New York State and those across the nation that rate lawyers based on client service and performance. It would also be a good idea to look at the verdicts and settlements that have been secured for its clients. You also need a law firm that has a reputation of being tough with insurance companies. It is always a good idea to check attorney-rating sites such as AVVO, which rate law firms. In addition, look at the state bar association’s website to check if the lawyer you are researching is in good standing.
• Experience: When you get ready to select a lawyer, make sure he or she has significant experience, preferably one that spans decades, representing personal injury victims. Ask how long has the law firm been in practice? Specifically what types of cases do they handle? Roughly what percentage of the lawyer’s practice involves personal injury cases? You need a lawyer on your side who exclusively handles personal injury cases.
• Trial experience: You need to know that the law firm you are considering can not only negotiate skillfully with other parties, but will also take the case to trial, if the need arises. A majority of personal injury cases are settled out of court. Still, it is crucial that you have the confidence that your law firm can provide a strong and aggressive trial of your case.
• Track record: Once you are convinced that your attorney has the necessary experience, it is important to look at his or her track record. Have they successfully handled cases that are similar to yours in the past? If the attorney has a website, look there to see the types of verdicts and settlements he or she has obtained on behalf of clients. This type of research should tell if you if the attorney has handled cases similar to yours and whether he or she has a successful track record with such cases.
