Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally, since that focus shapes how well they know injury claims and insurers. Ask about a real trial track record, not just settlement experience, because insurers negotiate differently when a case may go to court. Look for knowledge of local courts and the insurers you may face, and get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays costs. Ask who personally handles your case day to day. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions to compare the local attorneys in our directory.
