Picking the Right Personal Injury Lawyer

When searching for an injury attorney in the DMV area, you may ask yourself, what should I look for to find “the best” personal injury lawyer? The truth is, personal injury, and law in general, has a wide variety of cases and situations, and there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. However, in general, there are a few things that you should look for.

The first is whether that attorney’s experience fits the scope of your situation. For instance, you shouldn’t consider a tax attorney for a slip and fall case, simply because they don’t practice that type of law. Instead, that person would search for a highly skilled slip and fall lawyer, as they have extensive experience with that particular type of case. The same goes for truck accident cases, medical malpractice, brain injuries, and spinal cord injuries. Each of these cases have intricacies and difficulties that require experience and a complete understanding of the type of law.

The next thing to consider would be whether they have experience within that jurisdiction. It is highly important to retain a lawyer who has an intimate experience with the court system, the area itself, and the defense attorneys and judges who may be involved with the case. This way, they are equipped to handle any situation that may arise, as well as anticipate how the opposition may set up their defense.

Lastly, making sure that you can trust the attorney is another important step. Scheduling a consultation to go over the facts of the case is extremely helpful in determining whether the attorney can help and whether they will be a good fit for you as well as your situation.

The Initial Consultation

Our firm is upfront about whether we can help, as well as very honest about our opinion of the case. During a free initial consultation, we will talk about the various losses the injured party has incurred. Such losses include medical bills, lost wages, and lost earning capacity, as well as pain and suffering. We also take into consideration what their future medical and financial needs will be as a result of their injury.
