subject: Three Ways to Spot a Great Injury Attorney [print this page] After you have been hurt in a car accident, you might be considering hiring an attorney to fight the insurance company to get you help to pay your medical bills or recover lost wages. Now, in the phone book and on the internet every law firm looks exactly the same: a photo of their attorneys and a the names of their attorneys in big bold letters. But how do you know if they are any good? I have compiled a list of three tips so you can tell the difference between a great lawyer and everyone else:1.NEVER choose an injury lawyer just because they are close to you. You may have noticed a law office on your street, but without looking them up you don't know if they are qualified. A complex injury claim needs the best representation possiblejust because someone is close doesn't justify the risk of not getting help with medical bills or recovering your lost wages.2.BE CAREFUL of online lists. While internet directories do provide a useful list of lawyers and law firms that handle injury cases, most of them are paid subscription servicespaid by the law firm. An attorney that is really one of the best is not going to need to pay someone to appear so. They should be able to represent themselves truthfully and let their experience prove itself.3.ALWAYS do your research! This is by far the single most important piece of advice I can give someone who has been hurt in an accident and needs representation. You may be asking, how can I find the best information? It's easier than you imagine. A good place to begin is by asking loved ones if they know an attorney. It is also a good idea to look up the attorney that you are considering on the internet and see what kind of information they give you. The more information you are able to find, the more a law firm is committed to educating you. Good lawyers are going to make sure you understand all about the process you are about to start BEFORE you enter their office. Their website shouldn't simply brag about how great the lawyer is. You should be able to tell how qualified they are by how much information they give you about YOUR case.It's also important to point out--your individual situation might not require an injury lawyer, but if it does you should look for the best one you can find. If you have been injured already, it's important to make sure that you're not hurt again by poor representation. Always be prepared with good information prior to making any decisions.
