Legal Tip: How to hire your best personal injury attorney

Shop Around....

Always be a smart shopper for legal services. That means shop around – don’t hire a lawyer just because he is the only one you have talked to. Hiring an attorney is like buying a tomato. You have to feel around until you get the one that feels right. Your personal injury case will be a long process. You want an attorney who knows what she is doing but also who answers your questions, doesn’t talk down to you, and treats you like more than “just another case.” You wouldn’t buy the first car you came across; you’d shop around. Do the same thing with lawyers. Finding the right lawyer is equally important as finding an experienced lawyer.

Legal Tip: How to Hire your Best PI Attorney

Be More Informed....

Generally speaking, a lawyer who only handles personal injury cases will be more informed and have more experience in personal injury law than an attorney who only does a few cases per year. The lawyer who did a great job representing you for a traffic ticket might not be the best lawyer to represent you in a personal injury case. Likewise, a lawyer that your family has used for years for all types of issues might not be the best lawyer for a personal injury case. That being said, the lawyers who advertise personal injury on TV are not the only personal injury attorneys around. Check the Internet, the yellow pages, bar referral services, and ask others who have had experience with personal injury lawyers.

As usual, every situation is unique.  Talk with a Virginia attorney to determine the actual specifics of your case.

Legal Tip: Statute of Limitations for Accidents

DO file a claim with the Virginia Workers’ Compensation Commission. Even if you are receiving benefits from the insurance company or if you believe that your employer has already filed a claim for you, you must file a claim with the Workers’ Compensation Commission in Richmond, Virginia, within two (2) years of the accident in order to protect your rights.

As usual, every situation is unique.  Please talk with an attorney to find out the specifics about your case.
