What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer Actually Do?

  • Free Case Evaluation: They assess the strengths and weaknesses of your case at no cost to you.

  • Investigation & Evidence Gathering: They collect police reports, medical records, witness statements, photos, and surveillance footage to build a strong claim.

  • Handle All Communication: They deal with stubborn insurance adjusters so you don't have to, preventing you from saying anything that could harm your case.

  • Negotiate with Insurers: They use their experience to negotiate the highest possible settlement, often much more than you could get on your own.

  • Litigate if Necessary: If a fair settlement isn't offered, they will file a lawsuit and aggressively represent you in court.

5 Steps to Choosing the Best Personal Injury Lawyer

  1. Look for Specific Experience: Don’t hire a general lawyer. Choose a firm that specializes specifically in personal injury law.

  2. Check Their Track Record: Ask about their history of settlements and verdicts. A proven record of success is key.

  3. Read Client Reviews and Testimonials: See what past clients have to say on Google, Avvo, and other legal directories.

  4. Understand the Fee Structure: Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis (typically 33%-40%). This means they only get paid if you win.

  5. Ask the Right Questions During Your Free Consultation:

    • “How many cases like mine have you handled?”

    • “Who will be my primary point of contact?”

    • “What is your strategy for my case?”
