What Qualities Should You Look for in a Personal Injury Attorney?

April 10, 2018/in blog /by damg

According to FOX Business, the average person files a collision claim with their auto insurance provider once every 18 years. That means even though car accidents are common, they are not so common that virtually everyone is well versed in the claims process.

 

Accident report

In fact, many people who get hurt in motor vehicle collisions have no experience with legal proceedings whatsoever and do not know what to look for in a lawyer. Since their family’s financial security is at stake, though, it is essential that they find someone who will protect their best interests every step of the way.

If you sustained injuries in a car crash that was not your fault and want to sue the liable party, you can rely on Marshall P. Whalley & Associates, PC for personalized, attentive, and unparalleled legal guidance. Our legal team is here to help people put their lives back together. Visit our website at www.marshallslaw.com to learn more, or call 219-769-2900 to schedule a free case evaluation with a personal injury attorney in Gary.

Read on to learn what kinds of qualities you should value in an accident lawyer:

  1. A Limited Scope of Practice

General practice firms can be helpful if you need general legal advice or notarized documents, but when you have a specific issue, it is wise to turn to a firm that has a more central focus. Attorneys that limit their practice to just a few areas have more applicable experience and ultimately develop a more comprehensive understanding of all the statutes, regulations, precedents, and proceedings that might affect their clients.

  1. Relevant Experience

Personal injury law is a fairly broad practice area that encompasses everything from medical malpractice to wrongful death. As a result, it may not be enough to find a firm that only practices personal injury law. At the end of the day, you want to find a lawyer who has extensive experience resolving cases just like yours. 

  1. A Track Record of Success 

Does the firm have the resources to take on even the largest insurance companies and motor carriers? Do the attorneys have the confidence to negotiate for sizable settlements on behalf of their clients? If past success is any indicator of future success, you should consider a firm’s history of verdicts when searching for an attorney.

  1. A Compassionate Approach

You might want a lawyer who will be aggressive with the opposing party, but when it comes to your own interactions, look for someone who knows how to put you at ease. Recovering from serious injuries can make anyone feel vulnerable, and you deserve a warm and compassionate attorney during such a stressful time.

If you are looking for a personal injury lawyer in Gary who has all of the above qualities, turn to Marshall P. Whalley & Associates, PC. We have a reputation for tough litigation and a strategy for winning substantial settlement and verdicts.
