Georgia Injury Lawyers Blog
If you have been injured in an accident that was caused by someone else’s negligence, the best way to protect your rights – in pursuit of your rightful compensation – is with an experienced Atlanta personal injury lawyer in your corner. The problem may be, however, knowing what to look for in a personal injury lawyer in the first place. Fortunately, there are some qualities to look for that can help you find the right lawyer for you.
Experience
You are looking for an attorney who has considerable experience successfully handling complex personal injury claims like yours. You can learn about a specific attorney’s experience by diving into the firm’s website. Another great resource for better understanding a specific lawyers’ level of experience in cases like yours is the information gleaned from the reviews shared on Yelp and by the Better Business Bureau (BBB). It’s important to remember, however, that some reviews are more credible than others.
Connection
You have been laid low by someone else’s negligence, and in order to recover on your full range of losses, you’ll need to work closely with your personal injury attorney. To make this work, you need to feel comfortable opening up and sharing a good deal of information, which means you need to feel a connection with your prospective attorney. This is something that only you can determine, but if the attorney you’re trying out makes you feel at ease, it’s generally a good sign that he or she is a good fit.
Compassion
You are in one of the most difficult situations you may have ever endured, and you need an attorney who has the compassion to recognize how difficult this is for you and to do what he or she can to make the process as straightforward and streamlined for you as possible. A compassionate personal injury lawyer is better equipped to recognize every facet of your losses, including your emotional pain and suffering, and to skillfully go after the compensation you need to cover them.
Resources
In order to skillfully advocate for your rights and your rightful compensation, the best personal injury lawyer for you will exhibit all the following resources:
- The ability to clearly communicate with you and the insurance company
- The skill necessary to negotiate for a fair settlement
- The insight to recognize when it is time to file a lawsuit (if the insurance company fails to negotiate in good faith)
- The time to devote to trial preparation
- The financial resources necessary to gather robust evidence in your case, to hire expert witnesses, to have accident models constructed, and to do anything else that will help advance your claim (in protection of your rights)
