After suffering an injury or death because of negligence, family members often start looking for help to handle a lawsuit. Then they end up at this website. But, sometimes overwhelmed, they decide to hire an attorney and.... end up overwhelmed. There are no shortage of personal injury attorneys advertising on TV, the internet, radio and even direct mail. The huge number of these ads make it nearly impossible to differentiate one lawyer from another. In the near future, we will be building out a new section dedicated entirely to helping you decide how to choose a lawyer for personal injury, medical malpractice or wrongful death.

For the time being, look for these three things: a lawyer who specializes in personal injury (many ‘family law’ or ‘divorce’ attorneys advertise themselves as ‘personal injury attorneys;’ they are not); look for trial experience (many personal injury lawyers are looking for a quick settlement); look for someone who will personally handle your case and not turn it over to their lawyer factory (a lot of ‘big’ firms or ‘tv lawyers’ will simply ‘close the deal’ and get you to sign paperwork, then hand your case off to a factory floor of lawyers and paralegals).
