Whether you’ve broken a bone, torn a ligament, or gotten a concussion, being wounded can cause your life to come to a grinding halt. Even after treatment, oftentimes things have changed drastically. Be it temporary or permanent, that change can be incredibly jarring. In American healthcare, it can also be incredibly expensive.

If your injury has been caused due to the negligence of another person or party, you may be eligible for financial compensation. While no amount of money can undo the physical and emotional pain you’ve suffered, financial recompense can ease your struggles.

Where to Start Looking

Finding the right legal representation can make or break your case, and is something that should be considered carefully. The process of finding a lawyer can feel daunting, especially if you are already in a vulnerable state. However, if you break it down into steps, it can feel less overwhelming. 

Knowing what claim types a lawyer has faced can help you feel confident in your choice. For example, a lawyer who has experience dealing with bad faith actions from an insurance company can help most when your insurer is lowballing you or denying your claim without cause. 

Personal Referrals

If you know anyone that you trust that has been through a similar situation, it would be prudent to consult them on their experiences, especially if they live in the same area as you. The more similar their situation, the more likely their referrals are to be helpful to you.

Local Bar Association

Local bar associations are good resources to consult when looking for a lawyer. These organizations were instituted to serve the public and the legal profession, and are composed of qualified lawyers. Your local bar association will have details on nearby professionals who may be the best fit for your case.

Interviewing Potential Representatives

Before scheduling any consultations, it is wise to look over the websites of any attorneys that have made it onto your list. You may find information about personal injury claim types, your time limits, and other frequently asked questions.

Are you comfortable with them? Do you mesh well with their communication style? One of the most fundamental aspects of a strong lawyer-client relationship is trust. If you don’t feel comfortable sharing the complete truth of the situation with an attorney, they are not the right representation for you.

Is their office location easily accessible? Personal injury cases can be an involved affair, meaning that you may find yourself traveling to your attorney’s office frequently. Having an accessible office location can save you a lot of energy in the long run.

What is their fee structure? Regardless of your financial situation, this is potentially the most important question to ask. Often an attorney charges contingency fees, so you only pay if your case is successful, but having a conversation on finances with your legal representation can give you peace of mind.
