Injury Attorneys - Personal Claims, Lawsuits, Trials, Appeals
A well qualified injury attorney should be able to provide quality legal representation is all
foreseeable circumstances, from settling claims to arguing cases on appeal to the highest state court. Be
aware, a few firms that represent themselves as injury attorneys do not try cases for clients, but instead,
refer trials to firms that specialize in personal injury trial law.
The fee charged by both types of firms is usually the same although the expertise provided may vary
greatly. Stated similarly, avoid "paper mills" that rely on high firm volume to compensate for poor
performance of each client's case.
Selecting Injury Attorneys
Approximately 95% of all cases are settled before receiving a trial verdict. Nevertheless, thorough trial
preparation is essential because the threat of a fair verdict is the single largest motivating factor behind
favorable settlement offers.
When selecting any injury attorney, always consider the attorney's personal
trial record and reputation with insurance defense attorneys. These two measures of performance are easily
determined when following a few simple steps.
