Choose a lawyer who focuses on personal injury rather than one who handles it occasionally. Look for a real trial track record, since insurers weigh whether a firm will take a case to court. Ask about knowledge of local courts and the insurers that handle claims in your area. Get the contingency terms in writing, including the percentage and who pays case costs. Confirm who personally handles your case and whether others will work on it. Finally, check the attorney's standing with the State Bar. Use these questions as you compare the local attorneys in our directory.
