What to Look For in a Personal Injury Attorney
When you need to hire a personal injury lawyer, the first thing you want to look for is experience. You want an attorney who has successfully recovered damages for other personal injury victims, and who has done so on a regular basis for many years. Auto accident injury claims can be complex. Your lawyer needs to know how to effectively work with insurance companies and their attorneys. Your lawyer also needs to know when to bring in expert witnesses, such as accident reconstruction specialists or medical professionals, to demonstrate either the cause or the extent of your injury.
You also want a lawyer who is accessible and available whenever you have questions or concerns. A lot of lawyers will take car accident or other personal injury claims, but they work on a volume basis. They take a lot of cases, do a little bit of work on each case and try to settle as quickly as possible. At the law office of Jonathan Scott Smith, we provide highly personalized service to every client, taking the time to learn the details of your case so that we can take the right steps to get the outcome you want. We have the ability to quickly assess your case’s merits and know when your interests will best be served by negotiating a settlement or by seeking damages before a judge and jury.
